NMEICT Objective National Mission on Education through Information & Communication Technology (NMEICT) has been envisaged as a Centrally Sponsored Scheme to leverage the potential of ICT, in providing high quality personalized and interactive knowledge modules over the internet/intranet for all the learners in Higher Education Institutions in any- time, any- where mode .

NMEICT Achievements so far: A Summary (1/3)  The Mission ha s made significant progress since its inception in 2009 – particularly in providing connectivity, creating e-Content, and coming out with a low cost access device.

NMEICT Achievements so far: A Summary (2/3)  403 universities and over 21,000 colleges (including polytechnics) in the country have been connected.  As e-Content, over 800 courses are made available in NPTEL in various disciplines in engineering and science. E-content for 77 PG subjects are assigned to be generated by UGC and 87 UG subjects are assigned to be generated by the CEC in collaboration with its media centers.  Over 125 Virtual Labs in 9 Engineering & Science disciplines, comprising about 770 experiments are currently ready for use and available at one common website.  “Talk to a Teacher” program is being deployed successfully for synchronous training of over 10,000 participants. 1500 Spoken Tutorials are available on line. Various other projects pertaining to pedagogy and teacher empowerment are in progress.

NMEICT Achievements so far: A Summary (3/3)  A Low cost access device (LCAD) named Aakash has been successfully developed, launched and field-tested before national rollout.  The "National Library and Information Services Infrastructure for Scholarly Content (NLIST)", funded by NMEICT, provides for access to scholarly content to colleges, universities as well as centrally-funded technical institutions through its four components. The programme provides access to more than 5,000 e-journals and 80,000 e-books to all degree colleges except colleges imparting education in engineering, management, medical, nursing, pharmacy and dentistry.

Campus Connect  4.2 Lakh classrooms (21000 Colleges, each with 20 Classrooms) will be Wi-Fi enabled. This will help around 1.5 crore students for accessing websites which are academically relevant.  All the buildings of 600 Universities having 1 Gbps bandwidth will be Wi-Fi enabled. This will help 20 lakh students.  Whole campuses of 140 CFIs of MHRD will be Wi-Fi enabled.

National Digital Library of India  Overall repository of e-Content for e-Learning being set up. Contents made available by various IITs, IIMs, CUs, NITs, IISERs, NBT, Min of Culture, National Archives, and foreign partners like UNESCO will be collated in this.

MOOCs  MOOCs proposed through indigenously developed online platform, which will allow universities and knowledge-based institutions to upload their courses on it. 200 MOOCs courses proposed by December 2017 by about 50 Universities/ Institutions led by IITB  IIT Madras with its NPTEL partners & NASSCOM have already run 3 MOOCs certification courses of 10 weeks each, and more are in pipeline  IITB in collaboration with EdX is offereing 2 courses in 2014 to global learners from IIBombayX, as part of EdX consortium.

Cloud Computing and Central Data Centres for IITs, CUs, IIMs etc.  MHRD is setting up a Common Cloud Computing Infrastructure in a scalable manner.  As pilot, a Data Centre at NIC with 640 Compute Cores and 50 TB of operational storage has been set up and is operational. A second deployment at IITD with 400 compute cores has just been tested.  This cloud will act as the Central data Centre for IITs, IIMs, NITs, CUs, etc  This Data Centre will be made available for Virtual Labs, ERP, AView and other NMEICT projects.
