VIRTUAL LABS

Overview

The Virtual Labs project is an initiative by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India, under the National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). It is a collaborative effort involving twelve premier institutes, with IIT Delhi serving as the coordinating institute. The project aims to provide remote access to laboratory experiments in various disciplines, enabling students and educators to perform experiments virtually. Additionally, the library has extended its support by offering access to SVCE Lab Manuals, enhancing practical learning resources for users.
