NOVEMBER, 2020
My dear Learners,
Vanakkam,
I deem it a great privilege to extend a hearty welcome to you to the Under Graduate Programme being offered by the
Tamil Nadu Open University (TNOU). I also appreciate your keen interest to know about the curriculum of the Pro-
gramme, in which you shall gain an enthralling experience, and pleasurable and beneficial learning.
With passing a specific act in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly (TNLA) in 2002, the TNOU came into existence as a
Sate Open University (SOU). It has been offering the socially-relevant academic Programmes in diverse disciplines with
due approval of the University Grants Commission (UGC) and the Distance Education Bureau (DEB), New Delhi since its
inception. This Undergraduate Programme is one among the approved Programmes.
The Board of Studies, a statutory academic body of the University, consisting of the versatile scholars, eminent teachers
including both internal and external, well- acclaimed industrialists, outstanding alumni, and prospective learners as
members, has designed the robust curriculum of this Programme. The curriculum is overhauled to be more suitable to
the socio-economic and scientific needs in the modern era based on the emerging trends in the discipline at State and
National as well as International level and accordingly, modified to our local context. Moreover, the whole syllabi of this
Programme have special focuses on promoting the learners to the modern learning environment.
With a Credit System / Choice Based Credit System (CBCS), this Programme is offered in semester/ non-semester pat-
tern. The Self-Learning Materials that are the mainstay of pedagogy in the Open and Distance Learning (ODL) have been
developed incorporating both the traditional and the modern learning tools, like web-resources, multi-media contents,
text books and reference books with a view to providing ample opportunities for sharpening your knowledge in the
discipline.
At this juncture, I wish to place on record my deepest appreciations and congratulations to the Chairperson and the
Members of the Board of Studies concerned for having framed the curriculum of high standard.
I would also like to acknowledge the Director, the Programme Co-Ordinator and the members of staff of the respective
School of Studies for their irrevocable contributions towards designing the curriculum of this Programme.
Last but not least, I register my profuse appreciation to Prof. S. Balasubramanian, the Director (i/c), Curriculum Develop-
ment Centre (CDC), TNOU, who have compiled this comprehensive Programme Project Report (PPR) that includes the
regulations and syllabi of the Programme, and also facilitated the designing in the form of e-book as well printed book.
I am immensely hopeful that your learning at TNOU shall be stupendous, gratifying, and prosperous.
Wish you all success in your future endeavours!
With warm regards,

05, November 2020 (Prof. K. PARTHASARATHY)
