Grameen Mukt Vidhyalayi Shiksha Sansthan (GMVSS) is a Board Established by an Executive Order of Uttarakhand State Government via Order No::459/P.P.S./C.M./2015 dated 03-12-2015 which works for the upliftment of children belonging to rural areas, Scheduled caste/ scheduled tribe, women etc., providing quality education through Open and Distance Learning System, to enable over-aged dropouts complete their schooling and in view of the need to accelerate the pace and progress of secondary education especially rural areas.

A Meeting was convened to check the equivalency of syllabus of Grameen Mukt Vidhyalyi Shiksha Sansthan (GMVSS) with Uttarakhand Board and was found to be equal in all respects and referred to Director Secondary Education to provide equivalency. The meeting was attended by Additional Director, SCERT and principals of various colleges to establish the equivalency of syllabus

Government Order (G.O) issued from Principal Private Secretary of Chief Minister of Uttarakhand (Chief Minister’s Secretariat) to COBSE that Uttarakhand Government has approved Grameen Mukt Vidhyalayi Shiksha Sansthan (GMVSS) for conducting of the exams and issuing of certificates which is equivalent to all Government Education Boards across India.

Grameen Mukt Vidhyalayi Shiksha Sansthan (GMVSS) was intended to be a medium of making education easy for students who are unable to attend regular classes. The challenge before us was to make the instructional delivery of curriculum convenient and as effective as regular classes for the students. It had to be a well- planned and organized extended learning endeavour which allowed students to pursue other activities without affecting their learning. Reaching out to them through the online medium was an excellent way to deliver educational resources and nullify the location constraint.

The National policy on Education suggested strengthening of Grameen Mukt Vidhyalayi Shiksha Sansthan (GMVSS) for extending open learning facilities in a phased manner at secondary and Sr. Secondary levels all over the country and abroad as an independent system with its own curriculum and examination leading to awarding of certificates. This was intended to address the needs of students on working professionals in India and abroad to further the cause of spreading education.
