E-Learning: Powering The Digital India Dream

E-learning is indeed a promising change in the educational sphere and is steadily contributing towards building an empowered nation. Indian education at primary, secondary and higher levels has confronted challenges unlike other nations where e-learning is already in developed stage. Indian education encountered roadblocks like shortage of teachers and unstructured infrastructure but has crossed over without deterring.

The ultimate aim of the Digital India dream is empowerment. Empowerment of working professionals, the under-privileged section of the society - especially students, and people, such as the elderly, who have little to no knowledge of using electronic modes of communication. Online learning is the path to fulfilment of this dream.

In the span of only a couple of years, PM Shri Narendra Modi has waved the green flag to programs like e-governance, Digishaala, outreach campaign, online banking, and digitization of official and governmental tasks through implementation of various fellowship and awareness programs. All  of these are  achievable through e-learning. 

From monitoring infrastructure and road highways to broadband requirements, the Indian government has made it clear that the entire gamut of areas of development are important and need to be accomplished. With such empowering inspiration, many IT companies have gained momentum. IT giant CISCO has even unveiled its smart city in Bangalore in 2014 to provide working professionals an environment where they can work and learn actual IT standards and norms to follow the digital India dream. 

The advent of e-learning is a pioneering step in revamping India as a digitalized nation. Companies like Intel, Qualcomm and others have joined hands with many online learning platforms to work collaboratively towards the initiative ‘Digital Skills for India’ launched by Qualcomm and ‘Smart Learning Initiative’ launched by Samsung. According to a report, IT companies are investing and coming up with interesting and interactive online education programs. Tata is working towards a plan called ‘class edge’. Reliance has marked 38.5% holder ship in digital education. Online learning platforms like Meritnation, Datawind, Simplilearn and Smart Classes are some other competent names in the field.   

E-learning with its obvious advantages of flexibility in study schedules and time is a growing pursuit amongst executive professionals and students. The courses cater to distinctive industrial needs through executive education programs and leadership executive education. Because of increased acceptance of online certifications, working professionals can adopt online education according to their convenience alongside office work. 

Online courses are expected to grow to $3 billion and beyond, because it is helping combat the numerous drawbacks and roadblocks the Indian education system has faced so far. Smart classes and interactive programs help overcome these roadblocks and going forward online certificate courses in India are likely to cover the entire spectrum of education.

Digital India is by far the most sought after and purposeful dream which is being facilitated through e-learning in a promising manner.
