Abstract: National consolidation of published and unpublished literature in the field of biomedical sciences can play a major role in scholarly communication to help the end users in providing research published in the country. Institutional repositories are a good approach for a cost-effective publishing with a cooperation and participation of each institution for capturing, preserving, managing, and nurturing the discussion. In turn, metadata can be harvested centrally to access the digital information of common interest whereas individual libraries should able to preserve digital assets. Institutionalisation mode has been recommended for building national digital repository system for the country. The public funding should be provided to apex body so as to formulate the requisite policies for the spread of open access movement in the country and also formulate a long term sustainable model for building national level system in the country.
