Government of India has established a Digital Depository of Academic Awards known as National Academic Depositroy (NAD-DigiLocker). The NAD-DigiLocker Cell would help in validating the Authenticity of Academic awards and ensuring their safe storage and easy retrieval. Maintaining academic awards in a digital depository would provide benefit to educational institutions; students and employers by enabling online access and retrieval; eliminate fraudulent practices such as faking/forging of certificates and mark-sheets and facilitate validation. NAD-DigiLocker would be available online 24x7 access to the stakeholders.
