IGNOU world's largest university: Unesco

Source: TwoCircles.Net

The Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) is the world's largest, with its student base extending to three million. IGNOU includes 21 schools of study, 59 regional centers, 2,300 learner support centers and some 52 overseas centers. The university offers certificate, diploma, degree and doctoral programs, comprising around 1,500 courses.

I suppose this it the best example of the degree to which the opportunities provided by improved information and communications technology infrastructure are combined with those provided by economic growth to advance higher education opportunities for a nation and region.
