This association will further the Digital India vision and boost online learning that has become an integral part of mainstream learning now. This collaboration will go a long way in empowering teachers and trainers and help them succeed in a digital economy.”
Commenting on the collaboration, Dr. Manish Kumar, MD and CEO, NSDC, said, “Digital learning is emerging as one of the most important tools in modernizing education and skill training.
