About SWAYAM
SWAYAM (Study Webs of Active-Learning for Young Aspiring Minds) is a pioneering programme initiated by the Government of India to realize the three cardinal principles of the Education Policy: access, equity, and quality. Its primary objective is to extend the best teaching and learning resources to all, including the most disadvantaged, thereby bridging the digital divide and integrating learners into the mainstream of the knowledge economy.
Through a robust, indigenously developed IT platform, SWAYAM hosts courses ranging from Class 9 to postgraduate levels. These courses are accessible anytime, anywhere, and are available free of cost to all Indian residents. Developed by over 1,000 distinguished educators and experts from across the country, these interactive courses include:
- Video lectures for visual and auditory learning.
- Specially prepared reading materials for download and printing.
- Self-assessment tools such as quizzes and tests.
- Online discussion forums to clarify doubts and foster collaboration.
SWAYAM integrates modern pedagogy with cutting-edge audio-video tools and multimedia resources to deliver an enriched and dynamic learning experience. To ensure the highest quality content, seven National Coordinators oversee the development and implementation of the courses.
