The Material Production and Distribution Division (MPDD) is one of the most important subsystems of the Distance Education and Open Learning System. Material Production & Distribution Division handles the production and distribution of self-instructional material for various programmes and courses of the University. It is responsible for timely printing and dispatch of study materials to the learners as well as to Regional Centres/Study Centres of IGNOU. It also undertakes the activity of synchronization of production of materials, printing the required number of these materials, storing and inventory control of these materials and dispatching them to the individual learners (course-wise and medium-wise), IGNOU’s RCs/SCs through the postal system. By nature the entire task is a complex operation and is compounded by a large number of students changing their addresses, medium of instruction and courses very often.

The University has taken a decision to offer option of e-material to the students. Those students who have opted for e-material will be given discount of 15% on the Programme Fee. This is also a way to encourage the learners towards e-leaning.
