The National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a significant digital initiative of the Ministry of
Education, Government of India, developed and maintained by the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)
Kharagpur. It is a part of the National Mission on Education through Information and Communication
Technology (NMEICT), aiming to make education accessible and inclusive for all sections of society.
NDLI serves as a single-window platform that provides access to a wide range of learning resources
including textbooks, articles, videos, theses, and simulation tools. These resources are sourced from
national and international repositories and are made available in multiple languages, thereby catering to
the diverse educational needs of users from different backgrounds and academic levels.
The genesis of NDLI dates back to April 2015, when Phase I was launched as a pilot project. It was
followed by Phase II (2017–2021), which was extended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Currently, Phase
III (2021–2026) is underway. NDLI stands out as a transformative step towards digital empowerment in
education. By integrating technology and open-access learning, it plays a vital role in fulfilling the vision
of Digital India and bridging the digital divide across the country.
