.shiksha
generic
.shiksha is a generic top-level domain that promotes education. The word 'shiksha' means 'education' in Hindi, making it relevant for schools, universities, and educational resources. The domain is sponsored by Identity Digital Limited, a major domain registry services provider. It was originally delegated to Afilias Limited in January 2014, and administration later transferred to Identity Digital. The TLD is open for registration by anyone, though it naturally appeals to educators, institutions, and e-learning platforms. If you run a tutoring service, a MOOC, or a school association, .shiksha offers a clear, culturally meaningful web address. There are no strict eligibility rules, so it also works for personal educational blogs or community projects.
History
