VIDWAN is the premier database of profiles of scientists, researchers and faculty members working at leading academic institutions and R&D organisations engaged in teaching and research across India. It provides authoritative information on each expert’s academic background, contact address, professional experience, scholarly publications, skills, accomplishments and researcher identity.
The database is developed and maintained by the Information and Library Network Centre (INFLIBNET) with financial support from the National Mission on Education through ICT (NME-ICT). It serves as the official reference for selecting expert panels for committees and task-forces established by ministries and government establishments for monitoring and evaluation purposes.
