Abstract
The present study was undertaken to examine the availability of college websites and e-content resources across Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in the Jammu region of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. It further aimed to analyse the subject-wise availability of e-content within these institutions. The study covered a sample of 72 Government Degree Colleges in the Jammu region. Content analysis was employed as the primary method to derive the study’s findings. The results revealed that 08 out of 72 colleges did not have an official college website. Among the 64 colleges with functional websites, 23 colleges lacked a dedicated webpage for e-content. Furthermore, among the 23 colleges that had an e-content section, 13 colleges had no actual e-material uploaded on those pages. The subject-wise analysis of e-content availability showed that 07 colleges had developed e-content in English, while 05 colleges had e-content for Botany and Zoology. Similarly, 04 colleges had created e-content for Chemistry, Computer Science, Geography, Physics, Hindi, Environmental Science (EVS), Economics, Education, and Sociology. Additionally, 03 colleges had developed e-content for Mathematics, Punjabi, Political Science, Urdu, and Sanskrit. Overall, the findings indicate that while digital presence through websites has improved across Government Degree Colleges in Jammu, the development and dissemination of e-content remain limited and uneven across subjects.
