UGC-Infonet E-Journals consortium initiative
taken by the Chairman University Grants
Commission (UGC) is to facilitate free access to
scholarly journals and databases in all areas of
learning to the research and academic community
across the country. The programme has been
dedicated to the nation by His Excellency the
President of India, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam on 28th
December 2003 from Vigyan Bhavan during the
concluding of Golden Jubilee celebrations of
University Grants Commission. More than 2000
scholarly journals and databases are already made
available for access which will cross 4000
journals in next few months. This effort has
started making very good impact on the research
and academic community and very encouraging usage
is noticed. However, awareness is the key to
exploit and utilize this scholarly literature in
better way. There is a need to inform all the
faculty, research scholars, students and library
professionals to understand the benefit of this
programme in the light of huge resources made
