Dear Madam/Sir,

Greetings from All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) ..!

We are pleased to inform you that the Ministry of Education has launched Rashtriya e- Pustakalaya (ReP) on 10th February 2024, as a pioneering FREE digital library initiative to serve as a national repository of knowledge and stories, especially curated for children, youth and learners across age 3-18 age groups. National Book Trust (NBT)-India has been entrusted as the implementing agency for this initiative.

The application is available on Android, iOS, and web platforms, and currently offers access to more than 3,000 titles in multiple Indian languages across diverse genres. The platform has been designed to foster the joy of reading, provide equitable access to high- quality content, and support the Government's vision of Viksit Bharat by strengthening the reading culture in the country.

In this regard, we request your institution to:

1. a) Add the ReP link to your library websites for easy access.

2. b) Encourage students and faculty members to download and actively utilise the ReP application.

3. c) Suggest to the ReP Secretariat a list of non-academic titles that your institution would like to be included in the platform.

This will not only promote the reading habit among students but also ensure students and faculty gain access to a wide repository of diverse and culturally rich resources free of cost.

In view of the foregoing, AICTE requests your institution to share this information with all the faculty, students, staff, and others, so that they can benefit from it.
