New Delhi, Dec 21 (PTI) With growing focus on global warming, the Indira Gandhi National Open University will launch a programme on climate change from next year.
The diploma programme on climate change would be available through all the 2,500 IGNOU study centres across the country.
"The programme that would be available from 2010 will also look into the Kyoto protocol and the recent Copenhagen summit," V N Rajasekharan Pillai, Vice Chancellor IGNOU told PTI.
Highlighting the university's initiative in the field of climate change, Pilai said a programme for climate managers is already on.
"We have developed modules for village climate managers.
Villagers will be given a module in their own language, how climate change will ultimately affect their lives, may be their agriculture, their prosperity, their marketing among others," he said.
Pillai said "contextualised module" also talks about immediate effect of climate change as well as weather forecast.
