MHRD (Ministry of human resource development) works through
two departments in our country i.e. Department of school education and literacy
and Department of higher education. MHRD aims to regulate the educational
status of our country by framing policies and introducing new ways to ensure
their implementation. It aims to ensure that education as a fundamental right
is given to every one be it of any socio-economic background, caste or
religion.
For this MHRD has introduced these some of the best online
courses, to impart quality education to large quantity of students at the same
time. And the best thing is that, these courses are made by India’s most
prestigious university’s teachers and professors. So here we go with the list
of best online courses by MHRD:
NPTEL
This is an online learning platform which provides course
content for engineering, humanities and science streams. Basically, this NPTEL
(National Program on Technology Enhanced Learning) is an initiative by seven
Indian Institutes of Technology namely IIT Bombay, Madras, Guwahati, Kharagpur,
Roorkee, Delhi and Indian Institute of Science (IIS). This course majorly
focuses on providing world-class education on engineering and sciences. They
had courses form Aerospace engineering to textile, agricultural, automobile and
so on and so forth.
There are by far 351 free online courses and MOOCs which
aims to impart free and quality knowledge to students all over the country.
They even had a motto that “Knowledge is free”.
Virtual Labs
This initiative focusses on provide labs to engineering
students and scholars be it of UG or PG level. The idea is to impart world
class equipment to students who have the capability but lacks the geographical
mobility or financial constraints. Here students can avail animated
demonstrations, video lectures, web resources. This enables a student to learn
from the experts of their fields along with practical knowledge.
E- Shodh Sindhu
The principal target of the e-Shodh Sindu: Consortia for
Higher Education E-Resources is to give access to subjective electronic assets
including full-content, bibliographic and authentic databases to scholarly
foundations at lower rates of membership. The real points and goals of the
e-Shodh Sindhu are as per the following:
Setting-up e-Shodh Sindu: Consortia for Higher Education
E-Resources by expanding and fortifying exercises and administrations offered
by three MHRD-supported Consortia;
