New Delhi, March 21 (BNP): Secretary, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, S. Krishnan on Saturday inaugurated a state-of-the-art digital recording studio at the National Institute of Electronics and Information Technology (NIELIT) Bhawan in New Delhi, aimed at strengthening high-quality digital learning content creation in the country.
The facility has been set up under MeitY’s EdTech initiative and is expected to enhance technology-enabled learning while serving as a key content development hub for the upcoming NIELIT Digital University platform.
Speaking at the event, Krishnan highlighted NIELIT’s role in expanding access to digital skilling, particularly in remote and underserved regions, including the North Eastern states and Union Territories such as Jammu and Kashmir. He noted that NIELIT-trained candidates are increasingly contributing to governance systems, citing their presence in state secretariats.
M. M. Tripathi, Director General of NIELIT, said the new studio will significantly strengthen the institute’s in-house content creation capabilities and support large-scale skilling initiatives across India.
On the occasion, NIELIT also signed 12 Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with leading organisations to promote industry-aligned training and innovation. These include Chanakya University, National Institute of Open Schooling, Cyber Security Association of India, Jindal Steel, Rashtriya Raksha University, and Jaypee Institute of Information Technology, among others.
Officials said these collaborations will focus on strengthening digital skilling, advancing curriculum development in emerging technologies, promoting research and innovation, and enhancing employability through internships and capacity-building initiatives.
The initiative is expected to further strengthen India’s digital ecosystem by aligning skilling programmes with industry requirements and expanding access to quality learning resources nationwide.
