11 Useful Official Study Tools By MHRD You Should Use During Lockdown

Just the other day, I came across someone posting about ideas to kill time at home on Facebook. The monotony is real. The entire country is locked down inside their homes and people are resorting to whatever they can to entertain themselves. Literally everyone is trying so hard to be anything but productive during this once in a lifetime opportunity to stay at home and do nothing. However, last I checked, the government did not impose a lockdown on self-development.

It is easy to get lured into the Bermuda triangle of the bed, smartphone, and charger. However, there is a lot more that we can do to utilize this time. This is the time to convince your mother that the smartphone she nags about all day, can actually help you be productive. Wait! The schools are closed down. Who wants to study right? Even if you might want, there is no way to step outside. But what if I say that you can use that smartphone of yours to get the best of the current online education system in the country?

The Ministry of Human Resource and Development (MHRD) and the University Grants Commission (UGC) has launched multiple innovative e-learning platforms amidst the Covid-19 pandemic that India is facing. It comes as a tremendous breakthrough as the academic scene has almost come to a halt in the pursuit of containing a killer virus. Along with the aids of the Inter-University Centres (IUCs) viz. Information and Library Network (INFLIBNET) and Consortium for Educational Communication (CEC), UGC and MHRD has launched 10 digital solutions to promote online learning in these hard times; and they are free of cost.

MHRD has come introduced digital learning solutions for higher education in the form of SWAYAM and SWAYAM prabha. For school education, android applications like Diksha and e-Pathshala are already featuring 4+ ratings on Google PlayStore. Even if you are an academic scholar pursuing your doctorate, learning resources are available free of cost at digital repositories like Shodhganga and Vidwan.
