  • The One Nation One Subscription scheme, which will be launched on January 1, will help students and researchers from diverse institutions, including under-resourced colleges, have access to the latest findings,

The "One Nation, One Subscription" (ONOS) scheme, as outlined in the article from News18, aims to revolutionize access to academic research in India by providing a unified subscription model for scholarly journals.
