| Abstract | In this paper we present the final design and the status report of the MAD module that will be installed at one of the VLT unit telescope in Paranal to perform on-sky observations. MAD is a prototype MCAO system performing wide field of view (FoV) AO correction over 2 arcmin on the sky by using bright (m/sub v/ < 14) natural guide stars (NGS). Multiconjugate adaptive optics aims at performing wide field of view atmospheric turbulence correction using many guide stars (GSs) surrounding the observed target. The light coming from the GSs is analyzed through wavefront sensors whose signals are used to reconstruct the atmospheric turbulence at the different heights which some deformable mirrors are conjugated to. The European Southern Observatory in collaboration with external research institutes is building an instrument prototype, the MCAO demonstrator (MAD), to prove on the sky the feasibility of the MCAO technique using both reconstruction approaches in the view of the future 2nd generation of the VLT instrumentation and the 100-meters telescope OWL. |

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.
