| Abstract | The United Nation's Millennium Development Goal of tuberculosis (TB) elimination by 2050 may be a realizable goal by concerting efforts of the numerous stakeholders involved in the development of novel antituberculous therapeutics. Improving pre-clinical models by the research community is one aspect of the drug development pipeline that will continue to require refinement. Better in vitro and animal models are needed to expand the chemical scaffolds of anti-TB agents. These constructs must be designed and utilized in a manner that is also pertinent to the pediatric population by addressing varying age-based drug metabolism rates. Novel technologies that utilize nanomedicine and genomic research may as well have a significant impact on future therapeutics; however, their development must acknowledge the key populations whose underlying disease pathology continues to drive the pandemic - both adults and children with latent TB, HIV/AIDS and diabetes. Challenging the long-standing orthodoxy of applying equivalent TB treatments for standard first line regimens among the adult and pediatric populations must also continue to be a major focus in future drug development strategies. Studies that include pediatric populations will require a greater variety of medication formulations, biomarkers that do not rely on sputum production and diagnostic technologies that are efficacious in paucibacillary disease. Significant programmatic barriers currently exist in key aspects of the described drug development pipeline, but strategic approaches can overcome these roadblocks - including the complex regulatory requirements involving the inclusion of children in drug trials. All such endeavors will require not only more focused research initiatives, but greater institutional support from the pharmaceutical industry, non-governmental organizations and national health sectors. |

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.
