As the coronavirus cases are mounting up in the country, a large workforce is needed to replace India's first line of workers engaged in tackling the COVID-19 crisis.

"MHRD’s ‘Digital Infrastructure Knowledge Sharing’ (DIKSHA) platform - an initiative for education & training has been leveraged by Government of India to launch iGOT portal to train all frontline healthcare and COVID Warriors of India to meet Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi’s vision to care for those ‘who care for the nation," a press release issued by the Ministry of Human Resource Development stated.
The 'DIKSHA' platform was launched by the Vice President of India on Teacher’s Day in 2017 and is being utilised to by more than one crore teachers and students across the country in more than thirty states and Union Territories for curriculum-based education and training.
The portal website link is https://igot.gov.in/igot/.
