| Abstract | Greater use of hydrocarbon fuel has led to fast depletion of fossil fuel reserves. This has now become worldwide problem making civilization vulnerable due to paucity of fuel in future. It is also a fact that as civilization is growing the use of transport has become essential part of life. The use of large number of vehicles for transport is contributing to about 70% of total air pollution, creating environmental & ecological imbalances. About 100–150 years old transport technology is totally based on combustions causing higher rate of emission, ultimately depleting the thickness of Ozone layer and causing the global warming. Thus worldwide fast depletion of conventional energy resources necessitates the search of alternatives such as Non-Conventional Energy Sources, Renewable Energy Sources and other Direct Conversion of Energy Sources. This paper deals with study on potential of renewable energy resources and their conversion system with emphasis on development of zero pollution engine for vehicles which may lead to sustainable future. |

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.
