| Abstract | The broad infrastructure considered necessary to capitalize on spectacular advances in information technology has been termed cyberinfrastructure. Cyberinfrastructure integrates hardware for computing, data and networks, digitally-enabled sensors, observatories and experimental facilities; and an interoperable suite of software and middleware services and tools. Scientists and engineers need access to new information technology capabilities; such as circulated wired and wireless observing network complexes; sophisticated simulation tools that permits exploration of phenomena which can never be pragmatic or replicated by experiment. Computation offers new models of performance and modes of scientific discovery that deeply extend the limited choice of models that can be shaped with mathematics alone, for example, chaotic behavior. Smaller amount of researchers working at the frontiers of knowledge can carry out their work without cyberinfrastructure of one form or another. While hardware performance has been exponentially - with gate density doubling every 18 months; storage capacity every 12 months; and network capacity every 9 months - it has become clear that more and more capable hardware is not the only prerequisite for computation-enabled discovery. This Plenary Talk would concentrate; on Cyberinfrastructure essential to $21^{st}$ century advances in science and engineering education and researches. |

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.
