Human Resource Development Ministry is trying to ensure  through its Digital Education Initiatives that students can continue their learning sitting at their home, during the lockdown period.

HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ has appealed to the students to take advantage of these learning platforms and put their valuable time to good and optimum use.

The response to this has been overwhelming and the access to the National Online Education Platform SWAYAM and other Digital Initiatives has tripled in the last one week.

Mr Nishank said that it can be viewed by any learner free of cost without any registration. About 50,000 people have accessed SWAYAM since 23rd of this month.
