Various esteemed government bodies in India, including AICTE, CFTI etc. have issued mandates and recommendations for educational institutions to consider establishing an NDLI Club on their premises. AICTE and CFTI have emphasized the importance of establishing NDLI Clubs within educational institutions. These clubs serve as invaluable hubs for fostering lifelong learning, promoting digital literacy, and enhancing collaboration among educators, students, and stakeholders. By adhering to these mandates and recommendations, institutions can not only enrich their educational environments but also empower their community members with access to a wealth of educational resources and opportunities.
