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.
