In a written reply to a question in Lok Sabha, HRD Minister Smriti Irani said her ministry has initiated provisions to assist differently-abled students.
She said that HRD ministry "has directed All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and University Grants Commission (UGC) to create 5 per cent supernumerary (extra) seats for differently-abled persons in all schemes of skill development."
In a written reply to another question, Irani said that a project 'Swayam' of her ministry is intended to provide Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) across the country.
