To establish linkages with traditional Education systems like state open schools,Sanskrit Boards and Madras boards, with mainstream education system with mobility across them and equivalence between them, the RIOS wishes to work in close collaboration with the State Open schools, Sanskrit Boards and Madras boards. In this regard,RIOS undertakes to function under the flagship of the State Open Schools, Sanskrit Boards and Madras Boards and would also abide by such rules and regulations and such further conditions as may be prescribed by the ASB from time to time. RIOS will also follow the norms for conducting examinations as also follow National Curriculam Framework, 2005,as amended from time to time.

Rural institute of Open Schooling was envisaged as a comprehensive instructional delivery institution that offered the liberty to get education without the bottleneck of attending daily classes. We have succeeded in creating a distance education program as a planned extended learning Endeavour. RIOS has gained an expertise in delivering instructional resources and thereby providing opportunities to students located away from the organization.
