MHRD Launches VidyaDaan 2.0 E-learning Portal, Invites Contribution for CBSE Study Material

The Ministry of Human Resource and Development unveiled the VidyaDaan 2.0 E-learning portal and has also invited contributions for CBSE students from individuals and organizations from across the country for the same. Any individual or even schools, institutions, DIET, organizations, and NGOs that have good quality e-learning resources can contribute to the VidyaDaan program.

“VidyaDaan is a national program under which academics and organizations of the country will be engaged to develop and contribute to e-learning content as per curriculum to provide quality digital curriculum content on various online education platforms,” said Dr Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank, Union Cabinet Minister for Human Resource Development.

Whoever wishes to contribute by developing e-learning content can submit their contribution in the form of explanatory videos, animation, path plans, evaluation, and question bank for any grade from 1 to 12 and for any subject as specified by the states/UTs under their respective projects. The submitted material will be reviewed by experts after which it will be released for use on the app so that millions of students across the country will be able to study from the e-learning resources.

“I believe that for those whose contribution will be included in initiation e-learning material, it will be a matter of pride and an opportunity to create a national identity,” adds the HRD minister. The contributors towards VidyaDaan 2.0 whose entries are accepted will be duly recognized as well.

The first step towards contribution to VidyaDaan 2.0 is to look for the project needs of Centre, State, or Union Territory organizations. Contributors may then nominate themselves for the projects for which they have relevant content to contribute. Organizations or individuals will also be required to fill in details, provide a sample of their e-content, and then nominate themselves. Once the nomination is shortlisted, contributions can begin.

The latest projects available for contribution are for CBSE Class 1 to 12 textbooks in English. Those who wish to know more about the initiative are advised to go to the official website for more details: https://vdn.diksha.gov.in/
