Implementation of SWAYAM at Maa Shakumbhari University, Saharanpur
SWAYAM is an initiative launched by the Government of India aimed at achieving the three cardinal principles of the National Education Policy: access, equity, and quality. This platform is designed to provide the best teaching and learning resources to all, particularly reaching out to those who have traditionally been excluded from the digital revolution. SWAYAM aims to bridge the digital divide and make educational opportunities available to students from all backgrounds, including those in remote areas.
The platform, developed indigenously, hosts a wide range of courses, offering everything from school-level content (starting at Class 9) to post-graduate education. These courses can be accessed at any time, from anywhere, and are free of charge for all residents of India. Designed to be interactive, the courses are taught by some of the best educators from across the country, and they are equipped with state-of-the-art technology and multimedia resources to enhance the learning experience.
Courses on SWAYAM follow a well-structured format, divided into four key quadrants:
Video Lectures – Engaging visual content to support learning.
Reading Material – Carefully curated materials, which can be downloaded or printed.
Self-Assessment – Quizzes and tests to help students gauge their understanding.
Discussion Forums – A platform to clarify doubts and engage in academic discussions with peers and instructors.
In addition, the SWAYAM platform brings together more than 1,000 faculty members from leading institutions across India, ensuring that students receive the highest quality educational content.
At Maa Shakumbhari University, we are proud to support this initiative and encourage our students to take full advantage of the courses available. Students who wish to receive certification for their participation in a SWAYAM course may register for an examination at the end of the course, which is conducted online and proctored.
Successful completion of the course and the examination results in a certificate, which may include credits that can be transferred to the academic records of students, in accordance with UGC regulations. We believe that SWAYAM offers an invaluable opportunity for students to further their academic and professional goals, and we are committed to supporting our learners in making the most of this exceptional platform.
