(i) `SWAYAMPRABHA' is a name given to a group of DTH channels devoted to telecasting educational content. (ii) `SWAYAM' provides online MOOC courses with a provision of certificate/credit-transfer. Related to these statements :
Both (i) and (ii) are correct
Both statements describe real digital initiatives of the Ministry of Education, and the two are deliberately complementary — one reaches learners who have television, the other reaches learners who have internet.
Statement (i) is correct. SWAYAM PRABHA is a bouquet of DTH channels that telecasts curriculum-based educational content around the clock, using the GSAT-15 satellite. Content is broadcast in slots that are repeated several times a day so a learner can choose a convenient viewing time, and it is aimed squarely at students in areas where reliable internet is not available.
Statement (ii) is correct. SWAYAM (Study Webs of Active-Learning for Young Aspiring Minds) hosts online MOOCs from the school stage through post-graduation. Courses are free to learn, and a learner who pays the examination fee and clears the proctored end-of-course examination receives a certificate; participating universities may accept the result for credit transfer under the UGC credit-framework regulations.
Hence both statements are correct.
