HRD Ministry and NCERT work together for ‘Digital India’ via e-classes,e-books and websites

Slowly, but steadily the dream for  ‘Digital India’ of  our Prime Minister, Narendra Modi is being fulfilled. In a recent development, the Ministry of HRD has  come up with a proposal to impart education through e-Classes and e-books.  Working on the lines, about 93,000 e-Books for the college students are already available under National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT) Programme.

Laying more stress on digital education, online courses’ called ‘MOOCs’ for students from class 9 to post graduation, in any discipline, will be made available through e-Classes under a programme called Study Webs of Active Learning for Young Aspiring Minds (SWAYAM), which  is likely to begin around the middle of this year.
Moreover, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) enabled teaching and learning is supported in government and government aided Secondary and Higher Secondary schools.
