developed countries all over the world are developing virtual libraries faster.
Compared to the different countries, there is slow development in Information and
Communication Technology applications in India. This is so because of many of the
factors. These factors include Growing Population, Illiteracy, Low standard of living,
less importance to telecommunication facilities, shortage in supply of Energy Sources,
lower number of computer and Internet users. These problems become obstacle for the
development of the Virtual libraries in India causing a Digital Divide. To improve the
use of Information Technology applications and to fill the Digital Divide gap, the
Government of India and different state government already initiated certain policies
and projects. The paper also discussed the policies and projects of Central and different
State Governments to increase the use of Information Technology applications in
administration. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : MAMATA. MESTRI, (2013). DEVELOPMENT OF VIRTUAL LIBRARIES IN INDIA: PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS. Indian Streams Research Journal, Vol. II, Issue.
