Streamlining Access: India’s One Nation, One Subscription Initiative

The One Nation, One Subscription (ONOS) scheme revolutionizes access to scholarly resources for Indian institutions, providing over 6,300 universities, colleges, and research facilities with access to nearly 13,000 e-journals from 30 global publishers. By eliminating financial and geographic barriers, it ensures equitable access to advanced academic materials, fostering innovation and inclusivity.

Managed by INFLIBNET, a unified digital portal under UGC simplifies access for students and researchers, allowing effortless exploration of impactful global publications. This initiative reflects the government’s strategic investment of ₹6,000 crore over three years, aiming to create a robust research-driven ecosystem aligned with the National Education Policy 2020.

The scheme addresses long-standing resource disparities, especially in tier-2 and tier-3 cities, enabling students and researchers to engage with cutting-edge research. It positions India as a global research powerhouse by encouraging high-quality interdisciplinary contributions and knowledge-sharing.

ONOS not only bridges academic gaps but also redefines India’s research capabilities, empowering individuals to contribute to the nation’s innovation landscape. This initiative promises to enhance academic excellence while promoting equity in education and research.
