This is a survey of digital library initiative of North East India. The recent initiative by the government of India towards the digitization is reflected in various digitation programs. The secondary sources of data are used to map the 16 digital library initiatives in eight north east state of India. The study has observed that digital library in true sense is perhaps lacking. Many of the digital libraries are not accessible from the outside and lack regular maintenance. In this context, a national level policy initiative is the need of the hour including various stakeholders from the academics, library professionals etc. The study also comes up with various important observations and policy suggestions which may be helpful for scholar, librarians, policy and decision makers in the government.
