India is one of the countries that has made significant progress in transforming its human resources into knowledge workers, but it still faces several challenges in the contemporary education sector. The quality of education, both in terms of infrastructure and academics, needs to be improved to match global standards. The availability of high-quality educational resources is one way to achieve this goal. Open Educational Resources (OER) and Open Access (OA) can play a vital role in reducing the problems of accessing educational resources. The Indian government has initiated several innovative programs and schemes, such as SHAKSHAT, NMEICT, NPTEL, OSCAR, and E-grid, to develop and disseminate educational resources. However, implementing OER in Indian education still faces significant challenges, especially in lower-tier cities with limited technological tools.
