INDEST Consortium
INDEST Consortium: Origination
Recommendations made at the “National Seminar on Knowledge Networking in Engineering & Technology Education and Research”, Dec. 1 – 2, 2000 at IIT Delhi.
Preliminary Proposal circulated to all IITs, IISc, REC and other engineering institutions, their suggestions were sought.
MHRD Appointed the Expert Group in April 2002.
The Expert Group submitted its report in Sept., 2002
Slide 1
The proposal for consortia-based subscription to electronic resources was first discussed at length at the “National Seminar on Knowledge Networking in Engineering & Technology Education and Research” held at the IIT Delhi between December 1 and 2, 2000. On the recommendations of one of the work group of this Seminar, a preliminary proposal on consortia-based subscription to electronic resources was prepared and circulated to all IITs, IISc and RECs. On the basis of feedback obtained from these institutions, a revised draft proposal was prepared which encompassed other engineering colleges and institutions as beneficiary of this initiative. The Ministry, based on the last draft proposal, appointed an expert group to discuss elaborately on the e-resources with the publishers and aggregators and evolve a working model for execution of the consortium. The Expert Group appointed by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), after contemplating facts and figures gathered by it on the subscription amount payable by the individual institutions and the consortium, was convinced that consortia-based subscription is the only alternative to increase the access to electronic resources across Institutions at a lower cost. The Expert Group submitted its report to the Ministry in Sept., 2002.

INDEST Consortium
INDEST Consortium: Basic Model
The MHRD provides funds to the INDEST consortium:
• For subscription to electronic resources for institutes funded by it; and
• For operational cost of the Consortium.
Benefit of Consortia-based Subscription is passed on to other educational institutions. These institutions may subscribe on their own.
The member institutions may also subscribe to e-resources through the consortium that are not being paid for them by the MHRD.
Slide 2
The funds provided by the MHRD to the INDEST consortium has the following two components:
1. Funds for subscription to electronic resources for various institutions as per their entitlements recommended by the Expert Group; and
2. Funds for operational cost of the Consortium.
Benefit of Consortia-based Subscription is also passed on to other educational institutions. These institutions can subscribe to all electronic resources at the rate applicable to the core members of the consortium. The member institutions may also subscribe to e-resources through the consortium that are not being paid for them by the MHRD.
