In Himchal Pradesh, National Open School started its functioning from November 1997. At present National Open School is imparting education through 33 Study Centres & Four Vocational Centres in the State, these are in Shimla, Mandi and Una districts. Govt. of India is making its efforts to open atleast 35 more study centres to facilitate the rural people in the State. Infrastructure is being provided by the Govt. of India to make this scheme successful.

The launching of the State Centre in Himachal Pradesh in Shimla on 29-7-2000 by Hon'ble Chief Minister H.P. was a big step forward, in the direction of imparting education and spreading literacy.
Education means being good human beings and developing a national outlook and national spirit which are essential for the unity of the country. True education is a creative and ceaseless process aimed at twin goals of man making and nation-building. Education is the basic need for the development of nation and society. We can compete with the advanced and developed countries only when we promote more educational facilities to our citizens as we have, in our amidst 36 crore illiterates out of a population of 100 crores. Only a learned society can make this world better and worth living.

The National Open School has a pivotal role to play in the promotion and development of Open Schooling in the country. In a large country like India, it is not possible for one national level organisation to cater to the regional requirements. National Open School has therefore, evolved alternate models of State Open Schools and state-centres for open schooling. National Open School has also been providing professional and technical support to states in order to set up and develop State Open Schools, particularly with regional medium.

National Open School is the largest open schooling system in the world. The National Open School was established as an autonomous organisation under the Department of Education, Ministry of Human Resource Development, Govt. of India in November, 1989. The Open School, a pioneering project initiated by the Central Board of School Education, New Delhi in 1979 was amalgamated in National Open School in October, 1990, through a resolution of Govt. of India. National Open School was vested with the authority to examine and certify students registered with it, up to pre-degree level courses. The aim is to provide education to the student at his/her place of stay or work, with a flexibility of time, place and choice of subject. The convenience and interest of students is of upper-most importance in this scheme.

National Open School provides opportunities for continuing education to those who have to leave school without completing the Secondary or Senior Secondary classes, because of a variety of reasons beyond their control. They want to study but cannot attend a regular school. The National Open School has been functioning as an apex body and a resource agency at the National level for model building and promoting standards of learning through courses and programmes of general, life enrichment and Vocational Education from Primary to Pre-Degree level. The National Open School with its mission of Education for All, promotion of greater equity and social justice and evolution of a learning society, has emerged as a viable and a potential alternative to cater to the learning needs especially of girls, women, rural youth, non-school goers, working children, school drop-outs, disadvantaged, marginalised and vulnerable groups by offering them not only a second chance but as many chances as one may like to avail with a very flexible and learner friendly approach. The National Open School has launched Open Basic Education project to cater to the needs of neo-literates and the Special Accredited Institutions for Education of the disadvantaged, catering to the needs of physically and mentally disabled persons and the socially and geographically isolated sections.

Study centres of National Open School are located in all over the country except in the Union Territories of Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Lakshadweep. Study centres are also located in other countries such as Nepal , Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Muscat & Oman, for extending educational facilities to NRIs' and other nationals. The National Open School with its open learning and distance education mode offers the multi-channel approach as an alternative to formal education, catering to the educational needs of about 4 lakh learners all over India. More than 1000 study centres impart learning through printed self-learning materials, personal contact programmes and audio-video programmes in Hindi, English and other regional languages. Besides general education, National Open School offers several vocational programmes independently or in combination with the academic subjects in Secondary & Senior Secondary courses. Thus, the Notional Open School's claim to high achievement in reaching those who might not otherwise have participated in education and training in India is indisputable. The National Open School has been awarded the Commonwealth of Learning Award of Excellence for institutional Achievement in Distance Education in the year 1998-99. National Open School is one of the three Commonwealth Institutions and the only Institution at the school level to receive this inaugural award in the field of open and distance learning.
