NDL PhaseI covers setting up 24X7 infrastructure, providing singlewindow search and browse facility for eLearning resources to users, including eContents that are available in various institutions of the country by integrating Institutional Digital Repository (IDR) of respective institutions and registering users from Participating Institutions. The alpha version of the NDL PhaseI Portal has been made operational on February, 2016, which is available at https://ndl.iitkgp.ac.in.
