The Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) Chairman S. Vijayabhaskar Rao will launch a state-wide digital learning initiative, APSCHE LMS–MOOCs, on the occasion of National Education Day on Wednesday (November 11), marking a significant step towards expanding access to quality online education for students and faculty across the State.
The initiative aims to strengthen digital learning, blended education, faculty development and technology-enabled higher education. The platform will enable students to register, explore courses, enrol in relevant Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), access digital learning materials, participate in assessments and monitor their academic progress. Its self-paced learning model is expected to provide opportunities for interdisciplinary education, skill development, emerging technology learning and academic enrichment beyond conventional classrooms.
Speaking at a regional workshop on All-India Survey on Higher Education (AISHE) here on Tuesday, Mr. Rao emphasised the importance of transparency, accuracy and completeness in submitting the data for the academic year 2025-26.
The workshop was organised by the council, in collaboration with the Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education, Government of India. Mr. Rao urged institutional nodal officers to provide authentic information, stating that accurate data would help project Andhra Pradesh’s progress in higher education at the national level and enable institutions to access various government schemes and support.
In-charge Vice-Chancellor of Acharya Nagarjuna University (ANU) K. Gangadhara Rao highlighted the national status of AISHE data submission. APSCHE Vice-Chairperson and State AISHE Nodal Officer K. Ratna Shila Mani explained the Ministry’s awareness initiatives and announced plans to conduct 10-12 regional workshops and university-level programmes covering nearly 26 universities across Andhra Pradesh.
APSCHE Secretary B. Tirupati Rao stressed the need for verified and reliable data, cautioning that incorrect submissions could adversely affect the State’s image and standing. Professors M. Trimurthy Rao and B. Muni Swamy were among others who spoke at the event.
