Resource Groups, etc.
2. Starting from 16th October, 2020, three (03) courses (English and Hindi version) will
be launched each fortnight. This will ensure that all the 18 courses can be covered
within six fortnights (three months) and all the teachers at the elementary stage in the
country will be able to take all the NISHTHA courses by January 2020.

of the fortnight. Explicit communication will be sent to teachers by concerned
states/Uts/Organisations regarding the schedule of all 18 courses and days when the
courses will get opened and closed. This will help and empower teachers to plan their
learning journey as per their pace and convenience.

Organisation i.e., CBSE, KVS, NVS, CTSA, Sainik School and Atomic energy schools.
States/ UTs will launch courses in English. Hindi, regional/ state languages as per the
requirement in their state/UTs.
However the Central Organisations and the states like Kerala, West Bengal can take up
training of their SRGs from the NCERT – NRGs before starting the online teachers’ training
so that the teachers can be mapped with SRGs for further support and implementation.
NCERT will conduct training of NISTHA for SRGs on the request of the remaining states
as well as KVS, NVS, CBSE, etc.
