NDEAR is under the aegis of the Ministry of Education in collaboration with MeitY. Its is a federated public digital education infra that will support teaching-learning, educational planning, administration and governance activities for all stakeholders through a common digital architecture as envisaged by #NEP2020.
The goal of NDEAR is to create a digital infrastructure for education. Both the Centre and States will benefit from NDEAR in terms of planning, managing, and governing school education, as well as instructors, students, and schools who will benefit from a seamless digital learning experience. The entire student and teacher community will benefit from NDEARâs institutional structure, governance framework, technology, and data.
NDEAR is an architectural blueprint for the education ecosystem and not a system.
That defines a set of
- Principles – e.g. technology and ecosystem
- Standards and Specifications – e.g. technology and data
- Guidelines – e.g. data process, ecosystem engagement
- Policies – e.g. data, openness, inclusion, accessibility
And Identifies the key building blocks needed to make the architecture blueprint a reality
For an ecosystem of
- Actors to build, develop, innovate – interoperable building blocks.
- Applications/Innovations in the form of Solutions, platforms, tools, assets to be developed and used.
To enable the achievement of policy goals through programmes such as – SSA, FLN Mission â etc.
