Impressive Growth in Receipts…
The four-year period from 2006 to 2010 has witnessed remarkable growth in every sector, starting from revenue to students inflow, from regional centres to collaboration with various developmental institutions. The bulk of IGNOU’s expansion has come about from notably the modest tuition fee that the University charges its students. IGNOU was one of the first Universities in the country to implement the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission. The non-plan expenditure towards staff welfare also shot up from ` 9.23 crore to ` 57.02 crore. These expenses are towards contributions for the new pension schemes, bonus, pension, gratuity, leave, encashment, leave salary and honorarium.
