The AIOU provides free education as part of its policy to accommodate marginalised sections of society, according to a statement issued by the varsity on Thursday. This is the very first time in the varsity’s history that it has been given special treatment in availing the educational amenities. The university also plans to establish these counters at the 44 regional offices of AIOU nationwide. Earlier, on the initiative of the VC, AIOU established accessibility centres for visually impaired persons at its main campus and the regional offices.
