NEW DELHI:
The University Grants Commission (UGC) and the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (IIT-KGP) have collated all the material on the coronavirus outbreak into a separate section of the
National Digital Library
. The section will gather and disseminate information on coronavirus-related research in the higher education institutions in the country.
The repository platform, ‘Corona Outbreak: Study from Home’, contains both academic and research material to enable students and teachers to have continued access to content during the pandemic lockdown.
This repository has a collection of latest scholarly publications, documents and data repositories. The UGC has requested educational institutions to share the details of the consolidated COVID-19 research resources repository with their respective students. The repository also has links to funding sources for ideas and start-ups.
It has also asked vice-chancellors, principals and other users to share their suggestions with the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) with Partha P Chakrabarti, who is the National Coordinator
