NAD: All students to have digital account in next 3 years

In a bid to promote digital education and online storage of all academic awards, students will be allowed to have a digital account in the next three years, thanks to the Central government for taking such initiatives.

тАЬAll students in the country will have a digital account under┬аNational Academic Depository┬а(NAD) in the next three years, thereby all certificates issued by various academic institutions will be credited in digital format through digitalisation,тАЭ National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) Managing Director and CEO G V Nageswara Rao said on Wednesday.

An initiative of Ministry of Human Resource and Development (MHRD) for digital issuance, storage and access of all academic certificates issued by academic institutions in the country, the NAD is implemented through NSDL Database Management Limited (NDML), a wholly owned subsidiary of NSDL which is the largest depository of India.

тАЬThe academic depository would eliminate fake and forged certificates and enable online, electronic authentication of certificates issued by employers and higher education institutions,тАЭ he added.

The objective of the NAD is to provide an online storehouse of all academic awards such as certificates, diplomas, degrees, mark-sheets duly digitised and lodged by academic institutions.

Another primary function of the NAD is not only to ensure easy access to and retrieval of an academic award but also to validate and guarantee its authenticity and safe storage.

According to government data, the NAD comprises two interoperable digital depositories тАФ CDSL Ventures Limited (CVL) and NSDL Database Management Limited (NDML). These digital depositories ensure hardware, network facilities and software of prescribed quality for smooth and secured operationalisation of NAD.
