Bhubaneswar: In view of the COVID-19 pandemic situation, the Odisha School Education Programme Authority (OSEPA) has urged all district education officers (DEOs) to implement VidyaDaan programme, a common national programme for individuals and organizations across the country to donate or contribute e-learning resources for school education to ensure continuity of quality learning.
Under the programme, e-learning contents will be invited from experts, teachers, individuals and organizations for school education on DIKSHA and in order to leverage its potential uses by all our students and teachers.
Contributions can be made by individual, educationists, subject experts, colleges, universities, institutions, schools, offices, government and non-government organisations.
The programme has been introduced in the wake of COVID-19 crisis that has led to an increase in requirement for digital learning content for students — both school and higher education. The COVID-9 situation has created an urgent need to integrate digital education with schooling.
The DEOs has been urged to visit https://vdn.diksha.gov.in or hittps://vdn.diksha.gov.in/od/contribute and login/register in the site to view open projects.
The nominations will undergo a process of shortlisting from July 1 to 10. If approved, e-learning contents are to be uploaded during the time frame of July 11 to 20. Curation and finalisation of the contributions will be done during the time frame of July 21 to 31.
VidyaDaan programme will also be inviting contributions for teacher training material.
