The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is a national level board of education in India for public and private schools, controlled and managed by the Government of India. Established in 1929 by a resolution of the government, the Board was an experiment towards inter-state integration and cooperation in the sphere of secondary education.

Technological advancements have provided a plethora of tools to teachers that can be used in classroom to provide experiential learning. One such tool is Virtual Labs which were launched on DIKSHA on 29th July 2022, as per the recommendation of NEP 2020 clause 24.4 which states “Existing e-learning platforms such as DIKSHA, SWAYAM, and SWAYAMPRABHA will also be leveraged for creating virtual labs so that all students have equal access to quality practical and hands-on experiment-based learning experiences”.
