Digital Library of India, initially hosted by Indian Institute of Science, CDAC, Noida, IIIT-Hyderabad during 2000s working in partnership with theMillion Book Project, provides free access to many books in English and Indian languages.[1] The scanning of Indian language books has created an opportunity for developing Indian languageoptical character recognition (OCR) software. The publications are mainly inPDF orQuickTime format.[2]
Because of copyright laws, the texts are all out of copyright and therefore not sources for current information, but rather useful for history and background.
As of 2016[update], DLI had scanned 550,603 titles.
Representative titles include:
Books in Urdu and Persian are also available. Examples include " Aligarh kee taaleemi tehreek" by Khwaja Ghulamus Sayyedainand Makateeb-e-Sanai by Professor Nazir Ahmad
