| Abstract | Satellite positioning has already become a standard procedure of navigating. However, today satellite navigation users in Europe have to rely on the US GPS or the (currently incomplete) Russian GLONASS. Yet the military operators of both systems give no guarantee to maintain an uninterrupted service. The US, for example, reserve the right to limit the signal strength or accuracy of the system (remember the times of selective availability!), or to shut down public access to the signal (which fortunately did not occur so far). In addition, China has indicated to expand its regional Beidou navigation system into a global system, the regional Indian IRNSS is in its developmental phase and is scheduled to be operational around 2011. In the light of these developments and recognising the strategic importance of satellite navigation and its potential applications, Europe figured out the need to get an independent global satellite navigation system already in the early 1990s. Thus, Europe decided to develop its own GNSS capability in a two-step approach: The first step is EGNOS which improves significantly the accuracy of positioning based on the two existing navigation satellite constellations GPS and GLONASS. Moreover, EGNOS offers integrity information. The second step is the development of Galileo as a global, independent, and interoperable satellite-based navigation system. Galileo will be the first global satellite-based navigation system under civil control. |

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.
