Digital Initiatives of the Government of India for Education

The Government of India is committed to ensuring learning for all, with equity, to cover all students at all levels of education and in all geographical locations, even in the remotest parts of the country, so that the conveniences of accessing any service through the click of a button is no longer the luxury of the rich and no-one else. Imagining & shaping digital education as a long-term learning strategy towards ensuring "New Age Learning" is critical to our journey, which will help us leapfrog. We can leapfrog in education when we unleash the potential of a billion Indians - to learn and to help each other learn. Education is about learning, and learning should not just be restricted to schools. It should be learning by all, learning for all, learning with all. Overall, Indian education is being readied to adapt to a framework for enhancing learning within and outside the classroom. The foundation of this framework will be the Online/Digital Education Guidelines and Standards, which will address the digital divide, enabling equitable learning. Education and Development are two sides of the same coin.
