AICTE Partners with INFLIBNET to Launch Online Book Repository
In a groundbreaking initiative to promote accessible and inclusive education, the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has partnered with the Information and Library Network (INFLIBNET) Centre to launch an online repository of educational books. The repository, accessible at here, serves as a centralized platform for free access to academic and technical resources.
Empowering Education through Technology
The repository aims to bridge the gap between quality education and accessibility by providing a wide range of e-books tailored to the academic needs of students, faculty, and researchers. The platform covers diverse subjects including engineering, science, humanities, and management, aligning with AICTE’s mission of fostering excellence in technical education.
Features and Benefits
The user-friendly interface of the portal enables seamless navigation and quick access to resources. Students from remote and underserved areas are expected to benefit immensely from this initiative, as the repository reduces dependence on costly physical textbooks. Faculty members can also use the platform to enhance their teaching methods by integrating digital resources into their curriculum.
A Step Towards Digital India
This collaboration aligns with the Government of India’s Digital India campaign, which emphasizes leveraging technology to enhance education and skill development. Dr. Anil Sahasrabudhe, Chairman of AICTE, highlighted the initiative as a milestone in democratizing education, stating, “The platform ensures that knowledge is not limited by geography or financial constraints. It’s a step towards making education a fundamental right for all.”
Future Prospects
Plans are underway to expand the repository’s offerings by including multimedia resources, video lectures, and interactive learning materials. Regular updates and user feedback will help maintain the relevance and quality of the content.
This repository is a shining example of how technology can transform education, making it more inclusive and impactful. It stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts of AICTE and INFLIBNET in creating a brighter future for India’s academic community.
