About SWAYAM Plus

India aims to achieve a higher education Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) of 50% by 2035 and 65% by 2047, which implies the addition of 37 million and 66 million learners respectively to the current system. To achieve this, the government has recognized the need to look at non‐linear models of growth and leverage the role of technology in ensuring all learners have equitable access to high‐quality education.

One such initiative, SWAYAM, is the Ministry of Education’s (MoE) existing Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) platform providing educational opportunities for a vast number of learners. It aims to bring the best teaching and learning resources to everyone, especially those who have yet to benefit from the digital revolution and access the knowledge economy.

In alignment with NEP 2020, the Ministry recognizes the need for SWAYAM to expand its existing offerings to identify and include courses aligned with industry needs and that enhance learners’ employability. To this extent, SWAYAM Plus will be launched in collaboration with leading industry players and ed‐tech companies to bring employability and professional development‐focused programs to its learners.
