The Swayam project of the government is based on access, equity and quality of education. Through SWAYAM, the government seeks to bridge the digital divide for students who have hitherto remained untouched by the digital revolution and have not been able to join the mainstream of the knowledge economy.
Speaking on the occasion, the HRD Minister, appreciated the "NISHTA" initiative of the Council for training 42 lakh teachers.
The result of the National Talent Search Examination (NTSE) was also announced. A total of 2,103 students have qualified the exam and are eligible for the higher education scholarship.
The NCERT assists and advises the government on policies and programmes for qualitative improvement in school education.
Director, NCERT Professor Hrushikesh Senapaty and senior officials of HRD Minister were presented in the event.
