- Observes that Kendra Sahithya Akademi and Sahithya Akademies for different languages existing in the States of India are having a vast and unique collection on Indian literature and culture and also studies on those topics done all over the world. Most of these Akademies are accepted research centres of the universities for concerned subject areas. But their collections remain unorganised with poor facilities and insufficient staff. Many of the documents in their collections are rare and if lost will be lost for ever to the humanity. Based on an evaluation of the Akademies the study makes recommendations for computerisation of their catalogues and the bibliographies of regional languages and literature they publish, development of electronic database of writers of each language, digitisation of rare documents existing in them as well as applying ICT for improving their overall functioning. Opines that modernising the libraries Sahithya Akademies of the country and also digitally archiving the records they hold will enable the universities doing research on language, literature, culture and allied areas to have the most reliable and authentic knowledge source available for their reference. It will also be an act to conserve our cultural heritage.
