The Means to the Ends  E-Learning was our way to deal with the intended beneficiaries.  IGNOU (Indira Gandhi National Open University), India.  Have been successfully working on it for 6 years so far.  Over 900 students have registered for Masters, Bachelors other short and long term programs.  Our E-Learning program offers its services in 75 languages (including Dari/Persian) – one of the two national languages of Afghanistan.

6. Rationale  Bakhtar’s Core Competency is its ability to deliver educational services and programs of almost all sorts.  The E-Learning project lies within one of grasp of our Core Competency.  “Knowledge Management” on Macro level (Bakhtar with IGNOU) because we are a new generation of Private Universities in Kabul.  And we lack much of the experience and vision it takes to be an educated society.
