The SWAYAM initiative was launched by the then Ministry of Human Resource Development (M.H.R.D.) (now Ministry of Education), Government of India under Digital India to give a coordinated stage and free entry to web courses, covering all advanced education, High School, and skill sector courses. It was launched on 9th July 2017 by Pranab Mukherjee, Honorable President of India. SWAYAM has been developed cooperatively by Ministry of Education (former Ministry of Human Resource Development), and AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education) with the help of Microsoft. It enables professors and faculty of centrally funded institutes like IITs, IIMs, IISERs, etc. to teach students. SWAYAM is an acronym that stands for "Study Webs of Active-Learning for Young Aspiring Minds".
