In a bid to make advanced computer education available to the rural population, the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) in collaboration with the Srei Sahaj e-Village limited Monday launched five programmes on vocational skill development through the online mode.

The programmes, other than being affordable, also promise placement assistance.
