There is a strategic shift in addressing the question of why to include citizens in an increasingly information driven society towards how to make the inclusion in more relevant way. The abundance of new information and communication technologies (ICT) has transformed the global economy. From education and social inclusion to careers and politics, societies are increasingly networked; participation in an information - driven society necessitates access to technology and the motivation to use it. However, there are increasing concerns that differences in technology access and use have an impact on social inclusion, educational outcomes, and learning. Boosting digital participation, or e- inclusion, has become the aim of policy decisions, but how best to accomplish this goal remains uncertain. E - Inclusion has been conceptualized in many different ways. In the 1990s, the concept of a “digital divide” emerged, focusing on whether or not people had access to computers and the Internet. Looking at this global demand the democratic nation of India started showing its concerns for encouraging social inclusion in digital education and digital world. The recent political economy of Digital India Campaign is hence an extension of the dream of shifting the traditional classroom environment learning to digital learning. But in a nation like India this has to do with many socio, cultural and economic handicaps. It is quite evident that the major issues of digital divide and exclusion i.e. access to Computer knowledge and Internet infrastructure still shows a significant gap in technology uses between regions in India. Therefore, in this paper it is aimed to discuss about the issues of social inclusion in e – learning in India and the responses of Indian state in an analytical framework. The paper will adopt a historical analytical method to analyze the data collected from secondary sources like book, article, e-resources and government reports.

The emergence of digital technology and computer networking have provided means whereby information can be stored, retrieved, disseminated, and duplicated in a very fast manner. Digital libraries have made considerable advances, both in technology and its applications. The digital library initiatives at international level are many, but in developing counties like India they are still in a nascent stage. But with the initiative like Million Book Project, initiated by Carnegie Mellon University, the culture of digital library has also made a beginning in India.

A one-stop source for all information needs is the National Digital Library of India (NDLI), it gives access to wide range of information by sources, file types, subjects, and educational levels to anyone and anywhere 24*7. The present paper aims to analyze the current status of NDLI. The information gathered for the latest work from the NDLI's official website and then further evaluated to meet the project goal.

The emergence of Internet has added a new dimension to information technology which gave birth to the new concepts of Digital Libraries (DLs), Knowledge Management (KM), and archiving of indigenous culture and heritage materials. The Digital Libraries have emerged as a crucial component of global information infrastructure, adopting the latest Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to promote an organisational structure that encourages communication and resource sharing between the academician and scholars across the nations. In India, a number of digital library initiatives and digitization programmes have been initiated across the country. Most of the digital library initiatives are government funded. The Ministry of Communications and Information technology has also established the Digital Library of India. This paper discusses various problems, challenges and issues involved in design and development of digital libraries in India.
