In order to enrich teacher training programmes, which include diploma and certificate in primary education, the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) is developing a portal (depssa.ignou.ac.in/ wiki).

He sums up that the portal will also be linked to the community radio stations and other local media platforms.
