NDLI Clubs are set up in institutes and nodal bodies, and these Clubs conduct events to facilitate students develop knowledge, skill, and traits beyond the regular curriculum which are essential for their progression in their respective professional domains. The events may be either physical or virtual. Virtual events are web-based and are conducted through the NDLI Club portal. The events are organized at the respective institute level or city/district/state/regional level or all-India level.
