Abstract

India has tremendous potential resources. It is the need of the hour to make knowledge based developments in almost all fields. Hence, National Knowledge Commission (NKC) was constituted in 2005 as a high level advisory body to the Prime Minister of India, with a mandate to guide policy and generate reforms under the chairmanship of Dr.Sam Pitrada. The NKC has taken steps to review library services and to examine the present standards of public, private, institutional and specialized libraries and other information resources. In this paper, an attempt has been made to present the objectives of NKC and its recommendations to develop the libraries.


Key words: National Knowledge Commission;  Objectives; Recommendations.
