This study explores the familiarity and acceptance of online learning resources among students using SWAYAM (Study Webs of Active-Learning for Young Aspiring Minds), an initiative by the Government of India to provide free online education. A surveys-method approach was employed, with a sample of students from IGNTU Amarkantak (M.P.). The survey focused on key metrics such as awareness levels, frequency of use, perceived ease of use, and challenges with the content and platform. The findings reveal a high level of familiarity with SWAYAM among students. While the platform is generally perceived as user-friendly and beneficial, there are notable barriers to widespread adoption, including slow internet, lack of availability of required courses and inadequate promotional efforts. Despite these challenges, the overall acceptance of SWAYAM is positive, with users appreciating the quality of content and the flexibility of learning at their own pace and time. The study concludes that while SWAYAM has the potential to significantly enhance access to quality education in India, concerted efforts are required to address the infrastructural and awareness-related challenges. Recommendations include enhancing digital infrastructure, increasing awareness campaigns, and providing training for students to effectively utilize online learning resources.
