reviewed. The study examine the process of the digitisation, planning for digitization, software details, challenges in the
project, language-wise distribution of documents, subject-wise distribution of digitized documents and year-wise distribution
of digitized documents. Lack of proper digitization policy at the University level is one of the most important problems for

common policy for digitisation and coordinating the digitisation activities taking place at various Universities in India.},
