Institute of Management Studies (IMS) Ghaziabad, a 29-year-old flagship institute of the IMS Society Ghaziabad, and the CSC Academy, a society established by the CSC e-Governance Services India Ltd (CSC SPV), have announced a strategic alliance to develop and deliver short term IT courses to students living in rural areas of India.
As part of this alliance, IMS Ghaziabad and CSC Academy will work together for short term courses which would ideally be suited to students in the rural areas of the country. IMS Ghaziabad and CSC Academy would work jointly to identify need-based courses and their delivery by CSCs in the rural heartland. These courses will contribute to the various sectors such as financial inclusion, education, healthcare and livelihood generation which will help in enriching the quality of life in rural India.
The director of IMS Ghaziabad, Prof Alok Pandey, said “As a leading provider of management and IT education, we are delighted to extend our involvement with CSC Academy to empower students in rural areas. With this alliance, we will unlock new opportunities and bring additional value to student’s community.”
The secretary of CSC Academy, Dr Dinesh Tyagi, said “Working in rural areas, this partnership will create and deliver short term courses in IT to vast majority of students who are deprived of quality infrastructure and lab facilities. The courses would run on intelligent LMS with remote proctored exams.”
