Amity and SWAYAM Plus Sign MoU to Launch Industry-Ready Skilling Programs for India's Workforce

New Delhi, 31st March 2026: In a step towards accelerating India's ambition of a Shikshit Bharat, Amity has partnered with SWAYAM Plus, an initiative of the Ministry of Education's Department of Higher Education, to make future-ready education accessible to all. Formalized through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at IIT Madras, recently, this collaboration marks a pivotal milestone in expanding equitable access to high-quality, industry-aligned learning opportunities for students across the nation.

This collaboration reinforces Amity's commitment to democratizing higher education by delivering accessible, affordable, and barrier-free learning pathways to learners, working professionals, and first-generation learners. The initiative also aligns with the Indian government's mission of achieving a 50% Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) in higher education by 2035, as outlined in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. By bringing world-class online learning to millions at zero cost, this initiative redefines what responsible higher education looks like in a rapidly transforming nation, ensuring that India's next-generation workforce is not only employable but also future-ready.

Amity offers globally recognized undergraduate, postgraduate, and certificate courses and has further expanded its portfolio with the launch of new-age courses on the SWAYAM Plus platform. These offerings span high-impact, future-focused domains including Applied AI: Generative, Creative, and Multimodal Intelligence, Data Journalism: Insights, Analysis, and Storytelling; E-Retailing: Mastering Online Retail and Digital Sales, New Media and Digital Technology; and Leadership and Governance for Rural Development, alongside human-centric courses in Life Skills, Self-Awareness, and Empathy Skills. The portfolio is strengthened by advanced analytics courses such as Data-Driven Decision Making and Generating Insights, Digital Customer Analytics, Analytics for Decision Making, and Marketing Analytics- Data Tools and Techniques. Designed in collaboration with industry experts and aligned with real-world workforce requirements, these courses equip students and working professionals with future-ready skills to thrive in an AI-driven economy, enhance employability, accelerate career growth, and contribute to strengthening India's talent ecosystem.

These courses are designed to serve a broad and diverse community of learners, supporting college and university students who seek to complement their academic education with practical, industry-relevant skills. These courses are also designed for working professionals looking to upskill, reskill, and stay competitive in a rapidly evolving job market. By ensuring accessibility across regions, these courses expand equitable access to quality education beyond traditional geographical limitations.

With a strong emphasis on employability and workforce readiness, these courses focus on addressing critical skill gaps in emerging fields through hands-on, job-aligned learning to empower India's workforce.

SWAYAM Plus has been established to build strong bridges between academia, industry, and learners through multilingual, affordable, and career-aligned courses. This partnership between SWAYAM Plus and Amity will further

strengthen the Viksit Bharat mission by bringing high-quality, industry-relevant learning opportunities to thousands of learners across the country.
