About National Academic Depository (NAD) and DigiLocker

Digital India is a flagship programme of the Government of India with a vision to transform India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy. The vision of National Academic Depository (NAD) is born out of an initiative to provide an online store house of all academic awards such as Certificates, Diplomas, Degrees, Mark Cards, etc. duly digitised and lodged by academic institutions / boards /eligibility assessment bodies. NAD not only ensures easy access to and retrieval of an academic award but also validates and guarantees its authenticity and safe storage.

Digi Locker and NAD are initiatives of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and the Ministry of Education (MoE) respectively. The concept of National Academic Depository (NAD) is born out of an initiative by MoE to provide a 24X7 online depository to Academic institutions to store and publish their academic awards. The digital depository not only ensures easy access to and retrieval of an academic award but also validates and guarantees its authenticity and safe storage.

Digi Locker is a provider of NAD services and aims at ‘Digital Empowerment’ of citizens by providing access to authentic digital documents to citizen’s digital document wallet. The issued documents in DigiLocker system are deemed to be at par with original physical documents as per Rule 9A of the Information Technology (Preservation and Retention of Information by Intermediaries providing Digital Locker facilities) Rules, 2016.
