Ncert: Universalising Elementary Education In India

Give us an overview of IT related initiatives taken by the NCERT.

NCERT was established in 1961. Since then the council is working on research, training and outreach for the prodigy of school learning. In today’s age of digitisation, our online services are one of the finest examples of it. All NCERT books are available online along with e-Pathshala for every class. To resolve the issue of nonavailability of NCERT books, we are soon going to launch a portal to enable students and others to order any number of books of the required subject.

We have also launched “SWAYAM” to bridge the digital divide among students who have remained untouched by the digital revolution. After a lot of research, we’ve developed learning outcome paper through which parents, kids and teachers, can check what has been taught and what students have learnt. NCERT is also putting its efforts for children with special needs. We’ve started books in Braille for visually challenged students.

How important is teachers’ training programme? What initiatives have been taken by NCERT in this regard?
