From The Presidents Desk

Distance learning is the education of the 21st century. The traditional method of teaching in a
classroom, called brick and mortar education, has failed to reach millions of those who are
thirsty for getting knowledge, in an age marked by Knowledge Revolution. Distance education and
open learning fulfil this need.
Symbiosis, which is always on the vanguard of making bold innovations, has established Symbiosis
Centre for Distance Learning (SCDL) to offer different academic programs through distance
education. The Symbiosis Centre for Distance Learning (SCDL) is a centre of excellence offering
quality distance education. I am sure those who aspire to acquire education at a time and place
of their choice will be immensely benefitted and will be qualified to fill posts of their choice
with credit and confidence.
I wish the Centre success.
