Reports from the National Mission on Libraries (2021) and the Ministry of Education (2022) also reflect these changes, underscoring the need for libraries to adapt to new digital realities. A study done by the Pew Research Centre in the year 2019 reveals that the time we spend on mobile phones has considerably increased with much dedication towards social media and online streaming platforms rather than books. According to the 2017 International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) report, "The World’s Public Libraries: Key Trends and Statistics," the average Indian public library holds just 5,700 books, significantly fewer than the 108,000 books found in libraries in developed countries. Furthermore, the 2018 UNESCO Institute of Statistics report, "Measuring Information and Communication Technologies for Development," reveals that only 12 per cent of Indian public libraries have computers, and just 8 per cent offer internet access. Additionally, a 2016 Press Trust of India (PTI) article notes that only 10 per cent of the 1.2 million librarians in India are professionally qualified. The Ministry of Culture, Government of India, reports that there are 54,856 public libraries in the country, yet only a small fraction meet international standards. The digital news platform of the Times now channel revealed that the digital platform, hectic lifestyles, educational priorities, and economic constraints are bringing change in the reading habits of the people in the article titled 'Are we reading fewer books?' (2024).
