ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true
BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false
CStatement I is true but Statement II is false
DStatement I is false but Statement II is true ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Explanation
Statement 1 is false because IGNOU was established by an Act of Parliament in 1985, not 1965.
Statement 2 is true, as IGNOU used integrated multimedia instruction through Gyan Darshan and Gyanvani.
The year 1965 wrongly predates the actual founding of the open university.
Gyan Darshan is an educational television channel and Gyanvani an educational radio network.
IGNOU is the national open university coordinating distance education in India.
It hosts the Distance Education Bureau that regulates open and distance learning.
