English abstract

This study is a survey of the digital library initiatives of North East India. The recent initiative by the Government of India towards digitization is reflected in various digitation programs. The secondary sources of data used to map the 15 digital library initiatives in eight North East parts of India. The study has observed that digital libraries in the true sense perhaps lacking. Many digital libraries are not accessible from the outside and lack regular maintenance. In this context, a national-level policy initiative is the need of the hour including various stakeholders including academics, library professionals etc. The study also comes up with various important observations and policy suggestions which may be helpful for scholars, librarians, policy and decision-makers in the government.
