DDCE, Utkal University has been an
alternate window for education since
last 46 years. Our cherished motto “Education
For All” is a living ideal.
Education for ‘anyone, anytime and any
where ‘ is increasingly becoming the new
mantra of the Open and Distance Learning
family. ICT applications have changed
the contours of ODL. Notwithstanding
inherent difficulties of acess and cost
we have introduced limited E-Learning
Modules ; provide course ware on CDs,
accept online assignment, maintain
digital data base and have state of the
art networked computer labs. DDCE, Utkal
University has been taking a number of
initiatives to inch towards national and
international goals. In the last two
years we have taken a number of
innovative initiatives to work towards
our vision. Industry Academia
collaboration have been carried forward
with the launching of P.G. Diploma in
Banking and Insurance Management in
collaborative arrangement with ICICI
Bank ; coordination of Placement drive
of Infosys and TCS for graduate students
of Orissa and training a number of
batches in Soft Skill Development. DDCE
has also forayed into corporate
training. We have conducted few

marketing and network software for
executives of India Post. The University
Grants Commission has also sanctioned
the establishment of “ Centre for Social
Exclusion and Inclusive Policy Studies ”
(SEIPS) at DDCE, Utkal University. Last
