Dear sir,


DIKSHA is a unique initiative which leverages existing highly scalable and flexible digital infrastructures,while keeping teachers at the center. It is built considering the whole teachers life cycle from the time student teachers enroll in Teacher Education Institutes(TEIs)to after they retire as teachers.

In India, many teachers are creating &using innovative teach-based solutions in their classrooms. Some state governments have also initiated programs to support their teachers digitally. This inspired MHRD and NCTE to coordinate these efforts at a national level and build DIKSHA.

States, government bodies and even private organisations, can intigrate DIKSHA into their respective teacher initiatives based on their goals,needs and capabilities. They can use DIKSHA's features to create:

> In-class resourses

> Teacher training content

> Assessment aids

> News and announcement

> Teacher community

These features have emerged from  consultations with multiple state governments NGOs and more than 30 public and private organisations, who collaborated in DIKSHA.


Thanking you

Yours faithfully

Shivashankara B B
