Abstract: Due to the information revolution, Digital Libraries are developing all over the world to collect, store and communicate the information through electronic media. Compared to the different developed countries, there is slow development of digital libraries in India. This is so because of many social, political and economical 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. To improve the use of Information Technology applications, 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.
