National Library Mission

Posted On: 05 DEC 2024 4:36PM by PIB Delhi

Ministry of Culture through its National Mission on Libraries (NML) Scheme, under its Setting up of NML Model Library component, provides financial assistance to one State Central Library and one District Library in each State /UT as per the recommendation of the State Authorities concerned and six Libraries under Ministry of Culture for following categories: -

  1. Improvement of Infrastructure
  2. Up-gradation of Technology & Modernization of Services
  3. Creation of Facilities for Specially Abled groups
  4. Procurement of Reading Resources to meet local need and Advocacy and Outreach Programmes

The details of financial assistance provided till date to all participating States/ UTs are given in Annexure-A.

Since as per the Seventh schedule of Constitution of India,  Library is a State subject, there is no plan to digitise libraries across the country. However, Ministry of Culture through National Mission on Libraries Scheme provides financial assistance under its component of Up-gradation of Technology & Modernization of Services.

This information was given by Union Minister for Culture and Tourism Shri Gajendra Singh Shekhawat in a written reply in Rajya Sabha today.
