        abstract = {Library and Information Science (LIS) education in India has largely developed through planned interventions by national commissions and expert committees constituted by the Government of India and the University Grants Commission (UGC). These bodies have periodically reviewed the objectives, curriculum structure, professional requirements, and infrastructural needs of LIS education to align them with changing educational priorities and technological advancements. This study examines the major commissions and committees that have influenced LIS education in India, analyzes their key recommendations, and evaluates their impact on curriculum development, professional practice, and institutional growth. The study also identifies the continuing challenges in implementation and discusses future directions in the context of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.},
