Speaking at the flag off event, Smt. Savitri Thakur, Union Minister of State for Women and Child Development, said:

“The India Research Tour is a vital platform for connecting with researchers across the country. It provides a unique platform to support women in research, strengthen ethics in scholarship, and ensure equitable access to opportunities and resources. Empowering women researchers and scholars is central to building an inclusive knowledge economy. By focusing on democratising access to knowledge, promoting ethical research practices, and empowering the next generation of scholars, this initiative is contributing directly to the vision of Viksit Bharat.”

During the course of its journey, the tour engaged with researchers, policymakers, and academia. It focused on advancing Open Access and Open Science, strengthening research integrity through the Research Integrity in Science and Education (RISE) program, encouraging e-book adoption, supporting editorial board member recruitment, and promoting diversity and inclusion in research through initiatives such as Her Research, Our Future.

Speaking on the occasion, Venkatesh Sarvasiddhi, Managing Director, Springer Nature India, said:

“As the India Research Tour 2025 concludes in Itanagar, we are inspired by the immense research potential and enthusiasm we have witnessed across India — especially here in the Northeast. The conversations and collaborations from this tour have given us a deep understanding of researchers’ needs, institutional priorities, and regional opportunities. This learning will guide Springer Nature in strengthening our engagement with India’s research ecosystem and in creating solutions that truly empower every researcher, everywhere.”

Over the past several weeks, the India Research Tour 2025 traversed key academic and research institutions across Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, and Assam, before reaching its final destination in Arunachal Pradesh. In total, the tour covered 29 institutions across 15 cities and 7 states, fostering conversations on Open Access and Open Science, research integrity, diversity and inclusion, and sustainable development.

The inclusion of institutions from the Northeast—particularly Arunachal Pradesh—highlights Springer Nature’s and the Ministry of Education’s commitment to making India’s research ecosystem more inclusive, ensuring that researchers from all regions, including those traditionally underrepresented, have access to global platforms, tools, and networks.

Professor Dhananjay Singh, Member Secretary, Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR) — and an alumnus of Rajiv Gandhi University — said:

“It is a matter of pride to see the India Research Tour conclude here at my alma mater, Rajiv Gandhi University. The inclusion of institutions from the Northeast in this initiative is a powerful step toward bridging the representation gap in national and global research dialogues. By connecting with researchers in this region, we not only recognize their contributions but also create pathways for greater collaboration, visibility, and impact. The Northeast’s diversity, cultural richness, and intellectual strength make it a vital part of India’s research future.”

The key pillars of India Research Tour 2025 included:

• Promoting Open Access (OA) and advancing awareness of One Nation, One Subscription (ONOS).
• Driving discussions on Research Integrity and the role of Artificial Intelligence in publishing.
• Highlighting diversity and inclusion through initiatives such as Her Research, Our Future and the Research Ambassador Program.
• Supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by democratizing knowledge and strengthening accessibility.

Throughout the journey, the India Research Tour 2025 facilitated workshops, panel discussions, and interactions designed to strengthen awareness of ethical research practices, promote the One Nation One Subscription (ONOS) initiative, and encourage participation in global open science movements.

The tour’s conclusion in Arunachal Pradesh symbolizes the growing inclusivity and reach of India’s research ecosystem. The insights gathered from over a month of engagement will help Springer Nature and its partners deepen their role in advancing India’s vision of a more open, ethical, and globally connected research landscape.

The scheme is aimed at providing easy access to advanced-level skill courses, which potentially pose a significant financial barrier for many deserving students and candidates to gain futuristic and in-demand industry skills.

Recognising the significant role played by NBFCs and Micro Finance Institutions in the skill loan market, the MSDE, with approval from the Ministry of Finance, has made pivotal modifications to the scheme guidelines. Now, NBFCs, Micro Finance Institutions, and Small Finance Banks will also be eligible to extend loans which will be backed by guarantee against default up to 75% of the loan disbursed.   Furthermore, the maximum ticket size of individual loans eligible for credit guarantee cover has been increased to INR 7.50 lakhs from the earlier limit of INR 1.50 lakhs.

During the launch ceremony at Kaushal Bhawan, Shri Jayant Chaudhary, Minister of State (Independent Charge), Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship (MSDE) and Minister of State, Ministry of Education, Government of India, “The launch of the Model Skill Loan Scheme is a major milestone for our Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship. This scheme empowers youth with financial support for advanced skilling, through the instrument of collateral-free loans up to Rs7.5 lakh. NBFCs, NBFC-MFIs, & Small Finance Banks have also been made eligible lenders. As the world, including India, undergoes rapid technological and societal shifts, our education systems and job market must adapt to keep pace. We’re working hard towards a vision for 2047, with the government thinking strategically about these changes. This Model Skill Loan Scheme is a reform and liberalisation for which there was demand of the Public.”

Speaking on the occasion Shri Atul Kumar Tiwari, Secretary, MSDE said, “The ‘Skill Economy’ is increasingly market-led, with new-age learning integrating into the skill development ecosystem. Youths from urban and semi-urban areas recognise the available opportunities for skilling and livelihood improvement. With the help of this initiative, aspiring candidates can choose from a plethora of skill courses in sectors such as healthcare, IT, AI-data science, cloud application, digital marketing, hospitality, animation, gaming, graphic designing, and drone technology. These courses, driven by changing industry dynamics, offer substantial placement opportunities and potential for international mobility.

In absence of a vibrant skill loan market, many youths leaves many aspiring candidates without the necessary financial support to pursue their skill training. To ensure uninterrupted credit flow in the skilling sector and to provide low-income youths with access to affordable finance for specialised skill courses, the MSDE initially launched the Credit Guarantee Fund Scheme for Skill Development (CCFSSD) in July 2015. The new Model Skill Loan Scheme is the revised version of the same. It addresses the challenges of meeting the requirements of highly skilled workforce emerging from paced technological changes.

Gracing the event were Secretary, Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE), Shri Atul Kumar Tiwari; AICTE, Shri T.G. Sitharam; Senior Economic Advisor, MSDE, Shri Nilambuj Sharan; alongside CEO, CEO, NSDC, nd MD, NSDC International, Shri Ved Mani Tiwari; Chairman, National Credit Guarantee Trustee Company (NCGTC), Shri Durgesh Pandey, Deputy CEO, Indian Banks Association, Shri Gopal Bhagat and CEO, Eduvanz Financial Services, Shri Varun Chopra.
