<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\nThe Centre on Sunday said the Digital Infrastructure for Knowledge Sharing (DIKSHA) has emerged as India’s “One Nation, One Digital Platform” for school education, bringing curriculum-linked digital resources to students and teachers across the country.Launched in 2017, the platform is led by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) in collaboration with the Central Institute of Educational Technology (CIET). According to the government, DIKSHA supports learning from foundational literacy and numeracy to senior secondary classes and has been adopted by education boards across almost all states and Union Territories.<\/p>\n The platform has been designed to support different school systems by allowing states to customise content in regional languages and align it with their own curriculum.“DIKSHA has emerged as the country’s ‘One Nation, One Digital Platform’ for school education,” the government said, adding that it aims to ensure continuity of learning through digital technology.The platform hosts videos, two-dimensional and three-dimensional animations, augmented reality content, virtual laboratories, simulations and Indian Sign Language videos to help students understand concepts in different ways.<\/p>\n One of DIKSHA’s key features is its QR-coded Energised Textbooks, which connect printed National Council of Educational Research and Training textbooks with digital content, including videos, teacher guides and interactive learning material.The platform also includes Digital Accessible Information System (DAISY) format, text-to-speech tools and sign language videos to make learning more accessible for differently-abled students.According to the government, DIKSHA supports personalised learning through practice questions, competency-based question banks, adaptive assessments and detailed solutions that help identify learning gaps.<\/p>\n The platform is also used for teacher training through the National Initiative for School Heads’ and Teachers’ Holistic Advancement (NISHTHA) programme and state-specific courses. Teachers can complete self-paced certified training modules online.The government said DIKSHA follows a federated model, allowing states and institutions to upload and manage their own educational content while quality checks are carried out by CIET-NCERT.“Students can also download content for offline use, while several states and Union Territories preload learning material on smart classroom boards to ensure uninterrupted access,” the government said.<\/div>\nOne platform, many classrooms
