The Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) Wednesday announced details of a virtual university for Africa, a day after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh promised such an institution at a summit in Addis Ababa.

The proposal to establish the Indo-Africa Virtual University (IAVU) was initiated by the ministry of external affairs and IGNOU was mandated with formulating a proposal in consultation with the ministry of human resource development.

“The mission of IAVU is to create conditions that ensure special priority to furthering Indo-African relations by establishing an educational link,” said IGNOU Vice Chancellor V.N. Rajasekharan Pillai.
