Nearly 4,000 institutes yet to benefit from One Nation One Subscription scheme: Panel

A parliamentary panel has raised concerns over the limited coverage of the Ministry of Education’s One Nation One Subscription (ONOS) scheme, pointing out that nearly 4,000 eligible institutions have yet to benefit from it.

The Standing Committee on Education, Women, Children, Youth, and Sports, chaired by Congress MP Digvijaya Singh, has sought updated details on the scheme’s current reach.

“The Committee notes that the ONOS scheme has been approved and implemented. The Committee's recommendation had called for the accelerated implementation of the ONOS scheme,” the panel said.

“However, as the Committee noted in its 364th Report on Demand for Grants of the Higher Education Department (FY 24-25), about 4,000 of the 7,008 eligible institutions had still not received the benefits of the ONOS,” the panel added.
