Awareness of Undergraduate Students on SWAYAM as a Platform of Digital Education

SWAYAM is a digital platform launched by the Government of India to carry out the goals of the education policy i.e. access, equity, and quality. The main goal of the initiatives is to make teaching-learning excellence by providing tools available for everyone particularly the most disadvantaged. It aims to bridge the digital gap for students who have been left out of the digital revolution and are unable to participate in the knowledge economy. The study was carried out to ascertain the awareness of undergraduate students on SWAYAM as a digital education platform. For the present study, the investigators employed a descriptive survey method, and a total of 52 students of the Science stream were randomly selected from Nagaon, Assam. A self-made questionnaire was prepared having two choices as Yes/ No with 18 items through Google Forms. The data was gathered by sending the Google form to the students' email addresses and WhatsApp groups. The data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and graphically represented as per the objectives of the study. The study indicates that more than 50 percent of students were not aware of the SWAYAM irrespective of gender.
