Slide 1
INDEST Consortium: Origination
The proposal for consortia-based subscription to electronic resources
was first discussed at length at the “National Seminar on Knowledge
made at
“National
Networking inRecommendations

held at the IIT Seminar
Delhi between
December
1 and 2, 2000.

proposal was prepared which encompassed other engineering
colleges and institutions as beneficiary of this initiative. The Ministry,

INDEST Consortium: Basic Model
The funds provided by the MHRD to the INDEST
consortium has the following two components:
1.
The MHRD provides funds to the INDEST
Fundsconsortium:
for subscription to electronic resources for
various institutions as per their entitlements
recommended by the Expert Group; and
2.
For subscription to electronic resources for
institutes funded by it; and
Funds for operational cost of the Consortium.
For operational cost of the Consortium.
Benefit of Consortia-based Subscription is also
passed on to other educational institutions. These

The total number of members in the INDEST Consortium has grown to 110
including: 38 Core Members (funds for e-resources provided by the MHRD), 60
members Members
including Government Engineering Colleges or Government-aided
Engineering Colleges (funds for e-resources provided by the AICTE, and 12
