New Delhi: Human Resource Development Minister Smriti Irani on Friday said the central government would soon launch an online library to make study material available to all.

"Use of ICT (information and communication technology) in education has great potential in the education sector," Ms Irani said while speaking at a function to give national awards to teachers.

"We shall soon launch a national e-library, which will make material available to every one," she said.

The National Electronic Library (NEL) is a digitised library, which will be device independent. It will be accessible by every citizen of the country.
