And he has found also that campus centred face to face instruction is being progressively priced and out of reach of common middle class aspirants in the countries of Southeast Asia. The attempts by educational institutions in that region to provide an effective substitute in the form of distance education programmes of the US, UK, Australian and Canadian universities have also been beyond the reach of those who aspire for higher education as they are obliged to spend at least one semester on the respective campuses of the Universities to qualify for their degrees and diplomas. The large-hearted Non Resident Indian trader of Singapore felt that something must be done to make things easier for those who thirst for knowledge and are eager to better their prospects through education. He is a South Indian and his home is not far from Annamalai University. He decided that it was best that he took on himself the spread of the distance education programmes of Annamalai University, not only to these parts of Asia but all over the globe. They are also impressed by the earnestness of the founder of the HMH International Education Consultants Pte. Ltd, Singapore and the means he has at his disposal for the Stupendous task of delivering the distance education programmes of the Annamalai University. Hence it is, that the request of the founder of the HMH International Education Consultants Pte. Ltd, Singapore found ready welcome at Annamalainagar and from the academic year 2000-2001 HMH International Education Consultants Pte. Ltd, Singapore is an international coordinator for distance education programmes of Annamalai University. HMH International Education Consultants Pte Ltd. has tied up with Ion Tach Academy, Chennai, India to promote their exclusive courses to K-12 students globally to start with. It is planned to have many more leadership courses for working professionals.
