    Index Indiana : This was an ambitious project to trace the periodical literature appearing in the Indian Language periodicals. The first issue of the Index Indiana appeared as quarterly in 1977 and since 1981 it is being published as annual cumulated volumes. As a beginning 6 languages viz. Bengali, Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi, Tamil and Malayalam periodicals are covered. Indexing articles pertaining to Indian Literature, Social Science, Indian Systems of Medicine, Folk literature, Social Science, Philosophy etc. could be of great help to research scholars. For science and technology etc. such publications are already available. Due to lack of language competent professionals, certain languages goes unrepresented occasionally. Efforts are being to include all Indian languages.
    This index is divided into three parts – classified part, subject index and author index. The entries are grouped in the classified part according to Dewey Decimal Classification system. The entries under the subject are further arranged by the author and wherever not available then by title. All the entries are serially numbered in the classified part. The name of the authors and titles are given in popular spelling in Roman but near to their transliterated forms without the use of any diacritical marks.
    The subject and author indices are linked to these serial numbers.
    The experimental issue of October – December 2015 is available on the website in PDF format.
