DIKSHA (Digital Infrastructure for Knowledge Sharing) Portal

It was launched in 2017 with the aim to empower school teachers of the country with access to innovative tech-based solutions. It is a state-of-the-art platform built to host Open Educational Resources (OER) and tools for Teachers in Schools, Teacher Educators in Teacher Education Institutes (TEIs) and Student Teachers in TEIs.

• The features of DIKSHA could be used by teachers to create –
  • In-class resources
  • Teacher training content
  • Assessment aids
  • Teacher profile
  • News and announcement
  • Teacher community
• The National Teacher’s Portal (DIKSHA) caters to teachers from all stages of school education including pre-primary, primary, upper primary, secondary and senior secondary. All institutions, groups and individuals catering to the above can be enrolled as members of the platform, and can contribute to the creation, curation and use of resources on the platform.
• The only challenge that the initiative faces is the poor internet connectivity and digital infrastructure in the rural areas. But programmes like Bharat Net, Digital India, if implemented properly, could fill in the gaps and make the initiative a success.
