Use education technology (PM e-Vidya) and operationalise a digital university

Bharatiya Janata Party · Lok Sabha General Election 2024

Last updated 8 Jul 2026

“We will promote the usage of education stack for personalised and flexible learning management systems through initiatives under PM e-Vidya such as SWAYAM, SWAYAM PRABHA, etc. Building on the success of the above digital learning initiatives, we will operationalize a digital university for industry-focused free courses to provide upskilling opportunities for low-income families.”

Our Assessment

medium

Digital-education initiatives under PM e-Vidya - SWAYAM (online courses), SWAYAM PRABHA (educational TV channels), DIKSHA and the National Digital Education Architecture (NDEAR) - continue to expand access to flexible learning. However, the specific commitment to operationalise a dedicated Digital University offering industry-focused free upskilling courses is at an early/incomplete stage relative to the pledge. Partial.
