Central Idea

The National eGovernance Division (NeGD) plans to incorporate Personalised Adaptive Learning (PAL) into its existing Digital Infrastructure for Knowledge Sharing (DIKSHA) platform.
PAL offers individualized learning experiences based on students’ unique needs and abilities.

DIKSHA 2.0 Portal

Diksha Portal was launched in 2017 to provide a digital platform to teachers giving them an opportunity to learn and train themselves and connect with the teacher community.
It serves as the National Digital Infrastructure for Teachers.
It aids teachers to learn and train themselves for which assessment resources will be available.
It houses digitized National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) textbooks, teaching videos, and practice questions.
It also has assistive technologies for learners with disabilities, but it’s a static content repository.

NCERT seeks MeitY’s expertise in implementing PAL within DIKSHA.
PAL provides customized learning paths for each student based on their learning progress.
PAL can loop back students to basic concepts if they make mistakes, enhancing learning efficiency.

PAL development involves categorizing and tagging content, potentially creating new material.
Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics for Classes 9 to 12 are prioritized for PAL development.
Several states like Andhra Pradesh, Assam, and Haryana experimented with PAL, facing budget constraints.
