Dear Sri Rahul Singh,

Thanks for your post.

You may consult the 'Directory of R&D Centres' compiled by DST, the NUCSSI & Directory of Social Science Libraries compiled by ICSSR/NASSDOC. However, the lists are not at all exhaustive and never-the-less, since your requirement is so vast & diverse in nature, they cannot be accommodated  by the above two/three directories.

As far as I can understand, you have to contact some Libraries like Central Secretariat Library for libraries under Ministries/Secretariats, IGIDR/RBI Libraries for Bank related Libraries. etc.

As I understand, all Commercial Banks & Insurance Companies have their Libraries attached to their Staff Training Institutes some have Libraries in their Head Quarters for economic/commercial policy related research & NABARD have several Libraries.

You can also contact IPE & FICCI Libraries for PSU & Commercial Organization Libraries in pvt. sectors.

I hope the information may serve at least a part of your purpose.

Sincerely,

Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta

Thanks a lot Sri Siddhartha Shankar Ray Ji.Thanks for your valuable comment.

Actually in Internet there is no Relevant information I am getting.As if I Search in LIC,,FICCI,,Nabard they dont have any information in websites .In Ministries only MEA have Information rest there is no information available.

And if we go for Corporate as we know Infosys,TCS,Mahindra Satyam,CapeGemini,Microsoft, have libraries but they dont have any single information related to libraries or Information centers in their websites.

Dear Sri Rahul Singh,

Thanks for your response.

As I personally feel, Internet is basically a supplementary aid. There is no alternative to personal knowledge. Internet can be consulted when one needs information ready at hand within a couple of seconds. But Knowledge & information are two entirely different things. Being a person of so called "old school" I mostly depend on 'sources other than internet' . I admit that the process is rigorous no doubt but the results are authentic. As we are accustomed to collect data/information direct from sources which are often time consuming and quite difficult to get, our notions are 'tuned' to such endeavours. Admittedly, our study coverage would have been 85%-90%  maximum and that too after much hassles and time consumption, but the authenticity of the study used to be not less than 98% and there had been no question of any challenges/debates from any quarter! With internet and through online process, one can cover  more than 95% of target  within a short span of time but the authenticity level remains questionable.

In case you are genuinely interested, you have to do the toil of exploring the sources.

Sincerely,

Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta
