Question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): SWAYAM courses are available free of cost to any learner.
Reason (R): SWAYAM courses are telecasted on Gyanvani, the free DD channel.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

The correct answer is
(A) is correct but (R) is not correct

Assertion (A) Analysis

The Assertion states that SWAYAM courses are free for learners. SWAYAM (Study Webs of Active-Learning for Young Aspiring Minds) is an Indian initiative providing free online courses. While certification might incur a fee, access to the course content itself is generally free for all learners. Therefore, Assertion (A) is correct.

Reason (R) Analysis

The Reason claims SWAYAM courses are telecasted on Gyanvani, a free DD channel. This statement contains inaccuracies:

  • SWAYAM courses are primarily delivered online via the official SWAYAM portal.
  • Gyanvani is an educational FM radio station network, not a DD (Doordarshan) TV channel.
  • While educational content might be broadcast on various platforms like Gyan Darshan (a TV channel) or Gyanvani (radio), it's not the primary method of SWAYAM course delivery, nor is Gyanvani a DD channel.

Therefore, Reason (R) is not factually correct.

Conclusion

Based on the analysis:

  • Assertion (A) is correct.
  • Reason (R) is incorrect.

This corresponds to the option stating that (A) is correct, but (R) is not correct.
