DIKSHA, One Nation, One Digital Platform, is the platform for providing quality e-content for school education in States/UTs and is fully funded through the National Component of the Samagra Siksha scheme and managed by NCERT. DIKSHA platform has a federated architecture, and 35 states/UTs have their own tenant on DIKSHA. Each State/UT leverages the platform in its own way, as it has the freedom and choice to use the varied capabilities and solutions of the platform to design and run programs for teachers, learners and administrators as per the curricula needs. Most of the States/UTs have made their textbooks available on DIKSHA and have further linked them with additional learning resources (explanation videos, audios, interactive assessments, and text resources through QR codes) mapped to various topics. This is called Energized Digital Textbooks that provides additional resources for a topic to the students. It is through this unique architecture, DIKSHA portal provides the facility that helps educators to comply with the curricula at different stages.
DIKSHA has a dedicated vertical for Foundation Literacy and Numeracy (FLN). More than 2,700 e-contents on FLN are available on DIKSHA under various categories including Assessment sheets, Gamified contents and assessments, Infographics, Videos, Worksheets and activity sheets, Readings etc. So far, cumulatively, these contents have been played/used more than 5 Lac times on DIKSHA by users across the country. NCERT is continuously working with all the States/UTs to regularly update their contents mapped to their respective curriculums.
The information was given by the Minister of State for Education, Shri Jayant Chaudhary in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha today.
