The correct answer is (c) Open and Distance Education.
The National Knowledge Commission (NKC) was set up by the Government of India in 2005 to “provide a vision for knowledge development and dissemination in India in the 21st century”. The NKC’s report, titled “Knowledge Commission Report”, was released in 2006. The report covers a wide range of topics, including school education, teacher education, higher education, vocational education, science and technology, and information and communication technology.
Open and distance education is not included in the list of the contents of the Report of the National Knowledge Commission. This is likely because open and distance education was not considered to be a major priority for the NKC. The NKC’s focus was on developing a world-class education system in India, and open and distance education was not seen as being a key part of this goal.
However, open and distance education is a growing sector in India, and it is likely that the NKC will give it more attention in the future. Open and distance education has the potential to reach a large number of people who would not otherwise have access to education, and it can be a cost-effective way to provide quality education.
