Welcome to the National Conference. The conference, “Research Libraries: A Source to Adapt to Digital Form Using the Indian Knowledge System (IKS) in Promoting Social Science Research,” organized under the vision of Viksit Bharat @2047, seeks to bring together experts, practitioners, policymakers, and stakeholders to explore the intricate relationship between sustainability, digital innovation, and global accessibility in shaping the future of modern libraries.
The rapid evolution of digital technologies has dramatically reshaped the landscape of information access, transforming libraries from traditional physical repositories into dynamic, hybrid knowledge hubs. This transformation presents both opportunities and challenges, particularly in ensuring that libraries remain sustainable and inclusive institutions capable of fostering innovation while providing equitable access worldwide. The proposed conference, “Research Libraries: A Source to Adapt to Digital Form Using the Indian Knowledge System (IKS) in Promoting Social Science Research” under Vision of Viksit Bharat @2047 aims to convene experts, practitioners, policymakers, and stakeholders to explore the multifaceted intersection of sustainability, digital innovation, and global access in the context of modern libraries.
