4. EDUCATIONAL SCENARIO IN BIHAR :
Bihar is a densely populated state with an approximate population of over 10 crores, but the
State has the lowest literacy percentage in the entire country (only about 60%). As such, it is essential
6
that Bihar makes an all out effort to leap forward in spreading education and improving its
performance on the literacy front. The State has, now, about 3000 high schools, including 10+2
schools, and 14 state run Universities. Every year, over 7 lakh students appear at the Secondary
School Examination and nearly 70 percent of them pass out. However, not all of them can get
accommodated for higher education in institutions of conventional learning. Therefore, the distance
mode institutions, like, the Nalanda Open University, have to play a major role in meeting the aspirations
of this group of students, who are denied admission in conventional institutions, but are still anxious
to pursue their studies at higher levels. The Nalanda Open University provides them an alternate
route to pursue their studies through distance mode of education.
