Universities offering distance learning courses in India-Uttarakhand

Hello Friends,

This is my 15th post in the series of distance learning education in India. through each such post, I have been explaining everyone of you the approved universities in India. Through this blogposts, I have been providing information about territorial jurisdiction of every university, all the courses they are offering till the time of posting the blog and whether the university is involved in any controversies, degree scams etc.

Uttarakhand is not developed in terms of education still, It is better to have proper information rather than being in the dark. The problem of Uttarakhand is, it has many private universities and few names are really fancy (Graphic Era, University in the sky (Himgiri Nabh), Himalayan etc.
