The ONOS promises to provide equitable access to scholarly journals in all public institutions.

The scheme’s ambitious rollout comes with a substantial financial outlay of ₹6,000 crore over three years (2025-2027), to be paid to 30 major international journal publishers.

ONOS’s promise to offer equitable access to research articles, irrespective of an institution’s prestige or financial capacity, which seems like a step towards democratising knowledge.

This will be a “One Nation One Subscription” facility for the government higher education institutions and R&D laboratories of the central government.

This is in line with the goals of Viksitbharat@2047, National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF).

The initiative will expand access to scholarly journals to a vast diaspora of students, faculty, researchers and scientists of all disciplines, including those in tier 2 and tier 3 cities, thereby promoting core as well as interdisciplinary research in the country.
