Dr. Bandalaria has also held administrative posts in the same institution such as Director for the Office of Student Administration, and served as University Registrar. Dr. Bandalaria is a staunch advocate of democratizing access to quality education for the vulnerable sectors of the society which led to numerous public service works and researches which aim to serve lifelong learners by enabling their socio-economic transformation, and contribute to the country’s progress and to the sustainable development goals.

ICODeL2018, the third in the series of biennial conferences, will provide a forum for distance learners and practitioners to explore and create possibilities for open, distance and e-learning for development as well as to reflect and share on experiences. Focusing on the theme “Technology-Enhanced and Inclusive Education in the Digital Age,” this year’s conference will discuss how technology can be tapped for quality education, and promote industry and academe partnership to develop leaders and professionals that can thrive in an open and rapidly changing world.
