Wings to the Birds which wants to fly higher!
Literacy
We have only 3 states which achieved more than 90% literacy across India. To educate the mass population may be the biggest challenge but compared to 2001 it's grown from 65% to 74%. India set a target to achieve 95% literacy within 2015, However yet to see the results in 2021.
On the other end, people struggling to do their favorite courses. They were facing challenges with place and time. For people who were working and wants to study, education is not so friendly at anyway. So Digital education might help them.
The current technologies related courses like Artificial intelligence, Cloud computing, Big data, Nano technology etc are not enough range in India. The awareness about these courses is not reaching to the people effectively. The importance of these courses in future not explained to students.
So we need an open source for education not only to learn but also to discuss with large groups of people. Healthier discussions, course reviews, feedbacks and Students centric education will enable new paths in the education system.
With the beautiful dream to educate every Indian Government of India launched SWAYAM PRABHA in July 2017. Every Citizen of India can avail the facility. The aim is to facilitate quality education to all Indians with free of cost. Pranab Mukherjee, POI says
SWAYAM PRABHA "offered an interactive learning through which students in remote parts of the country can benefit from lectures of the top teachers. The digital modes are cheaper, more easily accessible, interactive and offer flexibility to people to learn at their own place.
