Abstract
The One Nation One Subscription (ONOS) initiative, launched by the Government of India in 2025, marks a watershed moment in democratizing access to scholarly information. By centralizing and negotiating national licenses with leading publishers, ONOS aims to provide nearly 1.8 crore students, researchers, and faculty across government-funded academic and research institutions with seamless access to over 13,000 journals. This article presents a comprehensive analysis of ONOS, exploring its historical context, objectives, implementation strategies, anticipated impact, challenges, and global comparisons. The study underscores the transformative potential of ONOS for the Indian research ecosystem and offers recommendations for maximizing its effectiveness and sustainability.
