After food, it is education that has posed as the second greatest challenge for human community. It is a sector where the governments of the world countries have pumped-in more funds but unfortunately education hasn’t reached the grass root level of the human community, even now. The consequences has been disastrous. On one hand we have some of the most outstanding men in the fields such as literature, software technology, engineering, management, medical, biotechnology... on the other we also have substantial inhabit; some of the most illiterates in the globe today. What a striking contrast! But there is no point in shying away from the stark reality.
How can the problem of illiteracy be overcome? There are many who wish to join in the mainstream of Distance Education. The fire to study and educate oneself is no doubt a healthy indication but that often got drained due to the lack of proper facilities. It was a stumbling block that was removed with the emergence of distance education.
Distance education has really opened a new window of opportunities for those who desire for further studies. In a way it has helped numerous professionals, dropouts (school & college), housewives, etc to accomplish their unfinished dreams. It has immense relevance, particularly in a country like India, where pursuing education is a pricey affair. The whole purpose of providing Distance education is to provide cost-effective, quality education to large sections of our population including those living in remote and far flung areas.

Yes Distance Education is helpful in eradicating illiteracy but in this competitive era, when we think in materialistic way, Distance Education will not help. In any profession that candidate will be chosen who has done his/her education from other than DE. "It" will not help in totality but partially. "it" will not help in winning "bread & butter". I suggest everyone to opt for other than DE.
Looking at all the advantages of the Distance Education, I feel that it is lot better than traditional way of learning and also looking at the rate at which it is being adopted in many of the western countries and even in India, and also the trend of world wide web, it will soon have equal value as regular learning.
