You know what makes me proud in this otherwise messed up country? Fucking IGNOU.

Sure it’s a shitty institution with delays and stuff , but it fucking gets its work done. It’s a godsend for the lower and middle class especially women. I know so many people from quite poor backgrounds who got their degrees from IGNOU and now are either a bit affluent or proper middle class. They have climbed the economic ladder and made lifer better for themselves, their families and their children. It brings tears to my eyes when these people share their stories

Seriously, millions of people who could have been denied higher education due to their sex, caste, religion,remote location, financial condition or even jail time ( yes IGNOU has centres in jail) get a real shot in higher education. It definitely makes education a lot more accessible and universal in this country.

I know all of these sounds stupid but who cares , I am fucking drunk. And no I am not an IGNOU grad or student. Just wanted to share my thoughts.
