| Abstract | Open-source social media intelligence (OSSMInt) is a field comprising of techniques and applications to analyze and mine open-source social media data for extracting actionable information and useful insights. The focus of the work presented in this paper is on novel applications and techniques of OSSMInt in the government sector. I propose and develop several novel use-cases and applications around OSSMInt for government and broadly divide them into three categories: identification, prediction, and response applications. In particular, I present solutions, tools and techniques for analyzing data from micro-blogging website to analyze citizen complaints and grievances in the public sector [response]. The research presented in this paper also describes my work on analyzing data from Twitter micro-blogging website to early forecast a civil unrest and protest [prediction]. Furthermore, I build various applications around identification and detection that are useful for the government and security analysts. I demonstrate the application of OSSMInt for identifying religious conflicts within society by mining public opinions on Tumblr website and fill the gaps of offline surveys. The study presented in this paper propose solutions for enabling law enforcement agencies to detect, prevent and combat online radicalization and extremism (content, users, and communities) by mining data from Tumblr, Twitter and YouTube websites [identification]. Furthermore, I also propose and build an application for detecting secret message exchanged in an adversarial communication and capture the obfuscated terms in messages. The central component of my proposed solution approach is the application of information retrieval and machine learning based techniques and algorithms. The study consists of experimenting with a diverse range of machine learning algorithms such as unsupervised, semi-supervised and supervised learning (k-NN, SVM, naive Bayes, random forest and decision tree) based algorithms. Based on the experimental results, I observe that there are several untapped opportunities as well as technical challenges in exploiting open-source social media data by the government for intelligence gathering. Furthermore, social media is a rich source of information for building security informatics based applications by mining the content, users, links and relationships on social media platforms. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
