Platform<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The launch of DIKSHA One Nation One Digital Platform is a major step in the digital education landscape of India. It enables collaborative access to high-quality teaching and learning materials and tools from the same platform for all students, including teachers, schools, parent organisations, and education administrations, rather than requiring separate web domains for each. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Compared with having to integrate high-quality educational resources and tools into different web domains, it provides a means of connecting all students, parents, education agencies and administrators on a single national platform. Furthermore, it is a crucial element of the National Educational Policy 2020 with its capabilities of multilingual support, AI-powered personalisation, QR code-enabled textbooks and teacher preparation modules. The future of school education in India looks bright due to the continuous advancement of digital infrastructure in the country, where DIKSHA One Nation One Digital platform is poised to become a key force in shaping India&#8217;s educational landscape.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">FAQs &#8211; DIKSHA Unified as India\u2019s One Nation, One Digital Platform\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"cfaq-wrapper\" data-multiple=\"0\"><div class=\"cfaq-item cfaq-open\"><button class=\"cfaq-question\" aria-expanded=\"true\"><span class=\"cfaq-question-text\">1.
