Hi Folks,
The Indian central government has approved One Nation One Subscription, a new Central Sector Scheme for providing country-wide access to scholarly research articles and journal publication. From what we understand, this is only a bulk subscription ("Read"
only deal) and NOT a comprehensive Read & Publish deal. Details below.
A total of 30 major international journal publishers have been included in One Nation One Subscription. All of the nearly 13,000 e-journals published by these publishers will now be accessible to more than 6,300 government Higher Education Institutions and
central government R&D institutions. Access to journals will be provided through a national subscription coordinated by the Information and Library Network (INFLIBNET), an autonomous inter-university centre of the University Grants Commission (UGC) through
an entirely digital process
A total of about Rs. 6,000 crores has been allocated for One Nation One Subscription for 3 calendar years, 2025, 2026 and 2027 as a new Central Sector Scheme. This will supplement the ANRF initiative to promote research and development and foster a culture
of research and innovation throughout government universities, colleges, research institutions, and R&D laboratories.
The benefits of One Nation One Subscription scheme will be provided to all Higher Educational Institutions under the management of the Central or State Government and Research & Development Institutions of the Central Government, through a national subscription
coordinated by a central agency, namely the Information and Library Network (INFLIBNET), an autonomous inter-university centre of the University Grants Commission (UGC). This list covers more than 6,300 institutions, translating into nearly 1.8 crore students,
faculty and researchers, who will be able to potentially avail benefits of One Nation One Subscription.
ONOS has been planned in three phases:
Phase 1: All higher education institutions under the management of the Central & State governments and Research & Development Institutions of the Central government.
Phase 2: Remaining Higher Education Institutions
Phase 3: Entire Country
Warm regards,
Minhaj
