1. There should be setting up of a National Virtual Library. All the Governments (States and Centre), public libraries, Institutes, Universities, private foundations can contribute to the NVL. Due credit should be given to the organizations that contribute content to the NVL.
2. The content available on the NVL should be available to anyone who has access to internet. The content should be available in an easy to access form and in an engrossing form. An ICT platform should be identified which would provide immediate access to the digitized knowledge in the most extensive and cost – effective manner possible.
3. To begin with, the content which has alreadybeendigitized through government funded programmes should be made available on the NVL platform.
4. In new content generation, children’s needs should be kept the foremost. Content on skill development and content of regional and local interest should also be given high priority.
5. To increase access to knowledge and information, all the school libraries should be opened to the communities. Special grants need to be provided to the school libraries for access to ICT tools and for purchase of books and reading material. To begin with, this model can be implemented in the Central schools. Participation of MHRD would be a must in this programme.
6. All the existing public libraries should be upgraded and put on a common ICT platform. Open software available should be developed further, if necessary, for cataloging and managing library services. Information on the resources with public libraries, national libraries, special libraries and NVL should be available at each major library.
7. Existing libraries should be made user friendly for the physically challenged.
8. Training of library professionals is the key to develop libraries of the future. University departments that teach M.Lib degrees, and have reasonable staff, should be upgraded and trained for efficient library work. All M.Lib students should carry out library work during their studies and should be paid a stipend for that.
9. Special funding be provided to the institutions and university departments that can train the librariansthrough short term courses. Such institutions should be identified and projects should be solicited. Enthusiastic young librarians could be sent abroad for a 1 year Master’s degree in ICT based Library science courses.
10. A census should be carried out on the resources available in the libraries. A study should be carried out on the reading habits in different regions of the country and amongst rural and urban communities. Areas where public libraries are scarce should be identified.
11. The mission should act only as an Advisory body. To implement the decisions of the Advisory Body, a Task Force should be created which will act as an interface between the Mission and the other ministries, national and state level stakeholders. A Joint Secretary level officer should head the Task Force.
12. The following working groups be constituted to develop a road map for implementation of the recommendations.Each group should have 5-6 members who are well known experts in the area. These working committees should be finalized at the earliest and approved by the Mission.
    1. Working group on the setting up of National Virtual Library, networking and ICT applications in libraries:
