Government of India has brought in several initiatives for dissemination of eContent such as DIKSHA (One Nation One Platform), PMeVIDYA (One Class One Channel), MOOCs on SWAYAM, ePathshala, etc. and DIKSHA has been sought as a one stop solution for School Education. The Ministry of Education has launched NIPUN Bharat Mission for Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN), Education for All (Adult Education), Jadui Pitara (for pre-primary students) and Virtual Labs as special verticals on the DIKSHA platform. Besides, several other verticals i.e. DIVYANG\/CWSN, CPD for educating educators, administrators, vocational education etc are also being created on DIKSHA portal. These verticals aim to nurture skills, special abilities and help increase the quality of life of an individual by enabling them to pursue their livelihood, be aware of their rights and responsibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) is aimed towards achieving basic foundational skills of reading with comprehension, writing and doing basic operations of mathematics as it focuses on the importance of early learning and\/or early childhood education programmes. The vision of the FLN document emphasises that children learn in a joyful manner through plays, stories, rhymes, activities, local art and craft forms and music while developing strong foundations for lifelong learning. The NIPUN Bharat mission outlines learning outcomes for FLN which have been designed in a spiral and progressive manner from Preschool to grade three aiming at holistic development and learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Adult Education vertical viewed pursuing a livelihood as basic rights of every citizen and to achieve the same this vertical provides the opportunity to attain foundational literacy, and obtain an education. Literacy and basic education open up whole new worlds of personal, civic, economic, and lifelong-learning opportunities for individuals that enable them to progress personally and professionally. The cell for National Centre for Literacy through Adult Education and Continuing Learning, NCERT aims to increase the quality of life of an individual by enabling them to pursue their livelihood, and being aware of their rights and responsibilities by imparting foundational literacy and numeracy, critical life skills including financial literacy, legal literacy, digital literacy, health and awareness and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experiments or laboratory work are vital for learners. They are useful in understanding the theories and concepts of science or other subjects that cannot be studied alone only by textbooks. The virtual labs are based on the Exposure to the laboratory and experiments are vital for learners. They are helpful in understanding the theories and concepts of science or other subjects that cannot be comprehended only through the textbooks. The virtual labs are based on the idea that lab experiments can be taught using the internet, more efficiently and less expensively. The virtual labs can be made available to the students who either have no access to physical labs or whose school labs have a scarcity of equipment. This shall help them come at par with students from better equipped schools and bridge the geographical, socio-economical and digital divide. With the virtual labs, the experiments can be accessed anytime and anywhere, overcoming the time constraints felt while accessing the physical labs which are available for a limited period of time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Education Policy – 2020 (NEP- 2020), unveiled by the Ministry of Education emphasises for the development of quality eContent in varied forms in all regional languages to feed into the FLN and Adult Education vertical on DIKSHA for a diverse group of learners including DIVYANG and to empower students and teacher communities across India. eContent augments the learning experience by deploying various resources for visualisation and explanation of abstract ideas. Keeping in view the diverse needs of learners, now use of eContent has become an essential component of the teaching and learning processes. eContent is available in large numbers through various sources, but few of them are found to have the desired quality in terms of content, pedagogy as well as technical aspects. Copyright violations are rampant thereby restricting the scope of customising the eContent according to the local needs. Also with a plethora of smart and mobile devices, teacher and student driven eContents are available in abundance in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NEP 2020 further emphasises on development of eContent by institutions like CIET-NCERT, CBSE, NIOS, etc. to be hosted on the DIKSHA platform. The DIKSHA platform is also to be used for teachers\u2019 professional development. The eContents have to be created for DIKSHA and its verticals on FLN, Adult Education, Virtual Labs, Vocational Education and CWSN based on the quality parameters and learning outcomes defined therein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NEP 2020 also emphasizes that each teacher and school principals is expected to participate in the Continuous Professional Development (CPD) activities for at least 50 hours per annum. Therefore, CIET-NCERT has planned a series of virtual training programmes to familiarise the SRGs on curation, development and dissemination of eContent, highlighting the process towards a quality eContent through multiple modes -online\/ offline\/ on air\/ web portals \/apps etc. and contribute in bridging the digital divide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
