AI-Integrated Communication Facility Fused into SWAYAM Prabha
Recently, the number of channels within the SWAYAM Prabha initiative has expanded from 22 to 40. The content on these channels is carefully curated by various agencies under the Ministry of Education, such as IITs, IGNOU, or CEC/UGC. Encompassing both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, the content spans a diverse range of disciplines, including Arts, Science, Communication, Social Studies, and more. In a bid to enhance student accessibility, a new Whatsapp Message facility has been introduced in SWAYAM Prabha. This feature ensures the timely availability of schedules for various subjects. Artificial Technology has been integrated with this new feature to guarantee the circulation of schedules in a structured and well-organized manner.
