Student Support Service

The DDE believes in providing full support and service to its students and ensures the removal of difficulties at a personal level so that the participation of the students in the programmes offered by the DDE becomes really effective and meaningful. The Directorate has evolved the concept of “Students Support Services Camps (SSSCs)” to help and groom the distance learners in several ways. These camps are not confined only to interactive counseling or solving the problems of the distance learners which they face during their self-study from the study material provided by the Directorate but also include promoting distance learning. In addition to it, Counsellors also help the distance learners in personality development and learning soft-skills.
