• The Government of India unveiled the One Nation One Subscription (ONOS) scheme, a groundbreaking initiative to expand access to global research publications.

• ONOS will provide centralized access to over 13,000 journals for more than 6,300 government academic and R&D institutions starting January 2025.

• With a three-year budget of ₹6,000 crore, ONOS aims to empower 1.8 crore students, faculty, and researchers with seamless access to top-quality research across disciplines, fostering interdisciplinary innovation.

• Supported by a web portal from INFLIBNET, authenticated users will enjoy both institutional and remote access to subscribed content.

• ONOS is part of a broader vision for open access transformation in India, complementing efforts like the Anusandhan National Research Foundation and NEP 2020. Beyond journal access, it includes ₹150 crore annually for Article Processing Charges (APC) in Open Access journals and emphasizes enhancing Indian journals and holistic research evaluation.

• By democratizing knowledge and aligning with India’s innovation goals, ONOS represents a monumental stride in making research accessible to all.
