In today’s fast-paced digital era, access to quality learning resources has become more important than ever. To bridge the gap between learners and knowledge, the Government of India, under the Ministry of Education, launched the National Digital Library of India (NDLI). This ambitious project, developed and managed by IIT Kharagpur, is transforming the way students, teachers, researchers, and lifelong learners engage with educational content.
