The Institute's foundation was laid by the Christian Churches and Organizations in India under the leadership of Dr. Sam Higginbottom with the belief that the improvement of Indian Agriculture is fundamental to all material and spiritual progress of the country. True success in life depends not only on the ability and technical training of the individual but even more on his/her moral character and attitude towards life. Through teaching and other Christian educational activities, the Institute tries to develop integrity, moral stamina, and unselfish idealism in its students. It seeks to base its mode of life and activity on the teaching and example of Lord Jesus Christ and to persuade all men and women to do likewise. The founder Christian leader received a command from LORD JESUS CHRIST to feed the hungry, and they followed it by undertaking transfer of technology mission to enable farmers to produce more food and achieve self-reliance. Dr. Sam Higginbottom believed that The Gospel must be preached with action, thus, he envisioned the institute to take up a leading role in Agriculture, Technical, Industrial, and Health Education to train peasants, extension workers, agriculture graduates, and other rural young people under the vision of The Gospel and the Plough.
The Directorate shall function as an independent entity in the system of Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Allahabad, as far as it goes for the conduct of Distance Education Programmes. The Directorate shall have a strong interface with all the concerned wings of the University for the purpose of coordination and smooth functioning of the Distance Education System. It shall work under the Director and the guidance of the Distance Education Advisory Committee, which shall receive the instruction and be answerable to the Executive Council for the Distance Education System of the University.
In India, Distance Education is the only effective way of making education and technology available to the masses. We are living in a learning society today. Such learning takes place through institutional programmes in schools, colleges, and universities and by means of lifelong education. Institutions alone cannot provide education and training to the one billion-plus population of the country. Therefore Distance Education Programmes gain relevance and suitability for learners of diverse age groups. Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences has embarked upon well-orchestrated Distance Education Programmes covering the entire country with a focus on Traditional Education, Information Technology, Business Management, and Allied Health Sciences. The programmes will open the doors of employment-oriented learning to thousands of young persons and adults in distant places. The university is equipped with a team of experienced experts to design, plan and implement the academic programmes with the highest academic quality and employability.
