        abstract = {The rapid integration of digital technologies into the education system has significantly transformed the way academic resources are created, managed, and accessed. In India, the Government’s initiative SWAYAM (Study Webs of Active–Learning for Young Aspiring Minds) has emerged as a major Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) platform aimed at providing free, high-quality education to learners across different levels. The platform plays a crucial role in addressing issues related to accessibility, affordability, and quality of education while supporting students’ academic and career development. The present study is a descriptive research work based on secondary data, focusing on the role of SWAYAM in academic resource management and career development of students in Gujarat. Secondary data have been collected from SWAYAM official reports, Ministry of Education publications, UGC and AICTE guidelines, NPTEL reports, research journals, books, and authentic websites. The study analyzes how SWAYAM functions as an academic resource by offering structured courses, flexible learning opportunities, and a credit transfer mechanism that complements the formal education system.},
