dc.description.abstractPublic libraries in India are essential establishments which support literacy, educational equity, lifelong learning, and knowledge democratization. In a nation characterized by socio- economic inequality, linguistic variety, and sizable rural populations, these libraries are essential resources for inclusive growth. Many public libraries in India suffer from structural issues like financing, facilities, and a lack of modernization, despite their significance. The Government of India (GoI), realizing these problems, has made proactive steps to modernize and enlarge the public library system. The Raja Rammohun Roy Library Foundation (RRRLF) and the National Mission on Libraries (NML) are important initiators and they both prioritize the development of human resources, technological integration, and infrastructure. The paper deals with the GoI's all-encompassing plans to update public libraries, looks at the legislative and financial structures that sustain them, and assesses initiatives to guarantee equal access to information resources throughout the nation. It offers insights into the transformative potential of libraries as agents of social empowerment and education in India in the twenty- first century by examining laws, policies, and empirical data
