| Abstract | Madrid has benefited greatly from democracy and globalisation. Once the capital city of an economically and politically isolated country, Madrid has become an important international hub. In terms of economic growth its performance has been among the best within OECD urban regions during the last decade. Madrid has been able to benefit from the overall good performance of the Spanish economy, as is reflected in the production growth figures, and in the level of almost full employment. Ongoing structural macroeconomic reforms, characterised by the streamlining of the regulatory framework, the increased exposure of product and factor markets to international competition, and prudent fiscal and monetary policies, have stimulated a gradual move towards the technological and managerial modernisation of Spanish enterprises in general, and those located in metropolitan regions in particular. In addition, as a capital city, Madrid has also benefited from a relatively large share of the total central government resources that completed regional and local governments’ efforts for the improvement of urban infrastructure. In recent years the city has also been an important focal point for the increasing flows of immigration and foreign investment that are occurring in the country. This overall scenario of growth, combined with the cities' capacity to attract immigrants, new investments and firms, have created a positive environment, and a perception amongst policy makers that Madrid is competing with the main cities in Europe. Of course, such a good achievement has generated positive expectations among the local community. The goal of the development strategy implemented by the city government, for instance, is to transform Madrid into the most important metropolitan region in Europe only after Paris and London. |

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.
