CHAPTER - 28 INDEST
28.1.1

OBJECTIVE
a

The Indian National Digital Library in Engineering Sciences and Technology


(INDEST) Consortium was set up in 2003 by the Ministry of Human Resource
Development (MHRD) on the recommendation of an Expert Group appointed by
the Ministry. The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi was designated as the
Consortium Headquarters to co-ordinate its activities. The Consortium enrolls
engineering and technological institutions as its members and subscribe to
electronic resources for them at discounted rates of subscription and favorable
terms and conditions. The benefit of consortia-based subscription to electronic
resources is not confined to its core members but is also extended to all educational
institutions under its open-ended proposition. 60 Govt./Govt.-aided engineering
colleges are provided to access to selected electronic resources with financial
support from the AICTE and 1015 engineering colleges and institutions who joined
the Consortium has now grown to 1269. The Consortium was re-named as
INDEST-AICTE Consortium in December 2005 with the AICTE playing a pivotal
role in enrolling its approved engineering colleges and institutions as members of
the Consortium for selected e-resources at much lower rates of subscription. The
objectives of INDEST-AICTE consortium are as follows:
1. To subscribe electronic resources for the members of the Consortium at
highly discounted rates of subscription and at the best terms and
conditions.
2. To extend the benefit of consortia-based subscription beyond the core
members to other engineering and technological institutions.
3. To impart training to the users and librarians in the members institutions
on subscribed electronic resources with an aim to optimize the usage of
subscribed electronic resources.
4. To find more avenues of cooperation and interaction amongst member
libraries.
5. To increase scientific productivity of member institutions in terms of
quality and quantity of publications.
6. To help new engineering institutes and colleges to make the right choice
of e-resources.
7. To find more avenues of co-operation and interaction with other
consortia.
During the last four financial years under mentioned amount grant-in-aids
were released for the exciting 60 institutions.
