The concept of Library is undergoing a paradigm shift as more and more contents are made available in electronic form and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools and services facilitate easy discovery and location independent access of library resources. There have been many digital library initiatives in the world including in India. In India, the digital library initiatives have been sponsored by several Ministries, notably Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) under its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT) Mission. In spite of several such initiatives in the country, most of the challenges faced by students, teachers, and general users in using digital contents remain unaddressed to a large extent. Users still have to visit individual websites to access e-resources, need to learn retrieval / search techniques separately, face the lack of vernacular access and limited contents. Further, there is hardly any integration of learner-learner, teacher-teacher and teacher-learner communication within the learning environment. In this background, MHRD initiated the National Digital Library (NDL) pilot project under NMEICT in April 2015 to address the above issues and bridge the gaps that exist in the wide range from literacy to advanced knowledge discovery and development of knowledge. It will enable integrated knowledge gathering on diverse topics in various sectors including economic, technical, strategic, and social sectors and will help personalized, self-paced, newage multi-media education at all levels. To avoid duplication, NDL will not be a new Library, but will be a deftly crafted umbrella over the existing ones. Besides being a huge pan-India repository of knowledge, NDL is envisaged as a platform that will bring fundamental shift in the paradigm of education and research. It will help students to prepare for entrance and competitive examinations. It will enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and adopt them. It will help researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources and carry out new analytics of text, audio, image, and video data to create new knowledge. Finally, it will support the continual evolution of new pedagogy of learning and new opportunities to leverage ICT in education.
