Distance and Open Learning provides education to learners separated by space or time from teachers or institutions due to economic or social factors. Recognizing this need, the University of Mumbai established the Directorate of Correspondence Courses in 1971-72, which was upgraded to the 'Institute of Distance Education' in 1993, becoming a recognized university institution.
