Immediately after its establishment in 1970, the Himachal Pradesh University took a bold step towards proliferation of knowledge and democratisation of educational opportunities by setting up a Directorate of Correspondence Courses in 1971. The University has played a pioneering role in launching the programme of distance education at the postgraduate level. It was the first to impart instruction at postgraduate level in social-sciences, humanities, commerce and teacher training through the mode of distance education. Research studies at M.Phil. level were also introduced through this medium in the various disciplines. Over the years, the Directorate of Correspondence Courses moved towards absorbing the emerging philosophy of distance education and adopting multi-media approach to impart instruction. In view of this, the Directorate of Correspondence Courses has now been rechristened as the International Centre for Distance Education and Open Learning (ICDEOL). It is located in the H.P. University complex at Summer Hill, a suburb at the western end of Shimla, 5 Km from the main town. Summer Hill Railway Station is a 5 minutes walk from the ICDEOL complex.
