In line with the Government of India’s groundbreaking One Nation
One Subscription (ONOS) initiative, Wiley, one of the world’s
largest publishers and a trusted leader in research and learning,
has signed a 3-year license agreement. Under this agreement, Wiley
has enabled access to nearly 2,000 journals, supporting
approximately 18 million students, researchers, and faculty across
6,300+ government higher education institutions and research
centers nationwide.
“This collaboration represents a pivotal moment for India's
academic and research landscape. We are proud to partner with the
government to advance this initiative forward,” said Ritesh Kumar,
Country Lead for Wiley in India. "ONOS is not just about accessing
journals—it's about creating a unified national research ecosystem
that will empower Indian researchers to lead global scientific
conversations, break traditional knowledge barriers, and accelerate
our country's research output."
Prof. Ajay Sood, Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government
of India said, “The One Nation One Subscription initiative embodies
the honorable Prime Minister’s call of 'Jai Anusandhan' –
celebrating research and innovation. By empowering researchers from
metropolitan centers to the most remote institutions, we're
cultivating a nationwide innovation network that will fuel our
national aspirations. This initiative is truly aimed at positioning
India as a global leader in scientific discovery during our Amrit
Kaal."
“The One Nation One Subscription (ONOS) initiative of the
Government of India is a transformative initiative. ONOS ensures
that Higher Education Institutions of central government and all
state governments and R&D institutions of central government,
irrespective of their size and budgets, can participate fully in
India's research revolution. By democratizing access to world-class
research resources, we're empowering all the students and
researchers of these institutions across India to contribute to our
nation's knowledge economy,” said Dr. Vineet Joshi, Secretary,
Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education.
The three-year Wiley agreement from 2025-2027, aligns with the
