 NPTEL is today one of the biggest repositories of technical courses in engineering and sciences in the world. NPTEL to be very brief is a program started by eight partner institutions, seven Indian Institutes of Technology and Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. The seven institutes were the original seven institutes in 2003, namely IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Guwahati, IIT Kanpur, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Madras and IIT Roorkee and Indian Institute of Science of course. The national program on Technology Enhanced Learning or NPTEL in short provides free online course content in all major disciplines of engineering, sciences and humanities. We have more than 875 courses taught by some of the leading teachers in the country who are experts in their field. All these courses are available for access freely on the portal nptel.ac.in for anyone with an internet connection. NPTEL started in the year 2003 and over the past decade has established itself among college students and industry professionals as the go-to destination for high quality and in-depth coverage of all subjects in higher education. Our lectures have a global audience and we have had more than 240 million page visits so far. The one question that many, many parents, students and other teachers have asked is that why redo the effort? There are video lectures available from many other websites, many other platforms, etc. Why redo it? The answer is simple. To me the answer is very simple. The way I teach it in India because I know what is the background these students come from, what is being covered in class 11 and 12, what can be the lacuna of them that is not possible for an American or an European or a Singaporean or Hong Kong or somebody anybody outside this Indian education system to guess or know. So their lectures may be useful or may not be useful but I am sure, I am at least all of us, all of my fellow colleagues and teachers and me at least we are aware of the short comings and what is being taught in the schools, etc. And so for Indians we require an Indian system by an Indian. Colleges across the country use NPTEL course content to supplement their regular classes and enhance learning. In particular students preparing for the GATE examination have found NPTEL to be a resource of singular importance to aid their preparation. Are e-learning content consists of video lectures, text, extensive animations, assignment questions and other similar material. We have more than 18,000 hours of video of which more than 13,000 hours have been transcribed into English and those lectures are subtitled in English. In short, NPTEL invites you to visit the portal nptel.ac.in and enables you to learn for free from the leading teachers of the country who are in premier education institutions from the comfort of your home or office just using an internet connection. From March 2014, NPTEL has embarked on a new effort called NPTEL online certification. Through this model, we offer open online courses for anyone with an internet connection. These courses are truly open, there is no qualification criteria, there is no classification, there is no admission procedure, all that is needed from the student is an interest to learn and an internet connection. The portal that we use is online courses.nptel.ac.in. On the portal, you will find 20-hour courses that run over a period of 8 weeks and 40-hour courses that run over a period of 14 weeks. These courses have weekly assignments that have to be submitted and video lectures and very interesting course material. There is a discussion forum in which you can participate and exchange ideas with your other students. In the NPTEL, which is the Central Human Rights Administration, the Tamil Nadu School of International Education has more students. In the NPTEL courses and in the Inayavadhi Sandral studies, the Tamil Nadu School of International Education has received the first place in the field of education. Even if we take the programming class, we will write the program in the answer paper. If we write it, we don't know if the program will be correct or not. It will be tough to write a mark on it. But in our portal, you actually have to do the programming. You have to type and compile and run the assignments. So, you can learn the programming by hand. So, there are some unique features like that. When companies see that you have completed online courses in IIT, they consider it a lot. Because we think that because we are doing a course in IIT, it is valued more. Because at least we have some knowledge. It is very useful to be able to study all these details in two months. You will definitely do a very useful course in college. They will put effort in college and tell everyone to register and they will follow it. They will tell everyone if they submitted the assignments in the test. There is a discussion forum, so you can easily listen to any doubts. So, there is no difficulty. It was easy. It was very beneficial. It is like the Anastasia syllabus. But, the things you do are a part of it. It is different than the Anastasia syllabus. It is a knowledge of a world. The studies conducted in IIT have been in the form of a YouTube channel. The studies conducted by the teachers of the school have been highly educated. The studies conducted by the teachers of the school have been highly educated. We have seen that in the whole of India, there are a lot of colleges that study aeronautical engineering. We also know that we have shortage of faculty, shortage of resources. All these things are kept in mind. This is an NPTEL online certification course, an adventurous step where we are developing a course in IIT Kanpur, where we will explain how a plane flies, what is the performance of an airplane, what is the difference between a good airplane and a bad one? How high can we fly an airplane, how fast can we fly it? The basic science of this is that we want to talk to all the young generations based on the standards of the 11th and 12th generation and to teach them and to share them as much as we have done in IIT Kanpur. All the contributions that we have made in the generation after generation, the facilities that we have created, we want to take out all of them and through this course, all the young students who are doing aerospace engineering will get full benefit. Hi, we at Google have been working with NPTEL for the last six years. They have done an amazing job of bringing so much engineering education material online. They have the best hope for providing a high quality education to hundreds of thousands of Indians. First of all, I must congratulate IITs for taking this initiative to take education and the contents that they have as part of NPTEL to all the people, particularly the student community who can benefit a great deal. Learning in a platform like this is by itself, I think, an extremely satisfying experience because you're learning from the best faculty, you're benchmarking yourself against your peers. And lastly, you have the satisfaction of completing a necessary part of your information technology learning on one of the best ways to learn it in a 21st century model. Definitely, once you get hooked on to this particular process of learning, you will find that you can learn at your own pace and time. And you will also be benefited with a certification, which is also, what a case, stamped by industry. And therefore, you will find it is an employment facilitator. IITs have got together to capitalize the assets that they have as part of NPTEL and make it available to the students, not only the current students, but also students who have studied and who are working in the industry for them to refresh and for elders in the industry too, who can benefit from all the changes that have happened in the areas of technology. At the end of the course, you have an option if you have learned well and mastered the subject to write an exam, physical exam, a proctored exam. And at the end of the exam, we give you a certificate and this certificate comes from the IITs, which ran the course. So, this is a valuable proposition for students and professionals out there looking to learn a subject and get some tangible outcome at the end of it for improving their careers. We have run in the past one year, more than 57 courses and more than 7,500 students have been certified through this process. I invite you to visit the portal, onlinecourses.nptel.ac.in and benefit from NPTEL online certification. This program will be the harbinger of a big intervention in India in the area of online education so that we can address the grand challenge of providing high quality and useful education to a very, very large number, probably the largest number of youngsters in the world. Thank you.
