The scope of NCC is widened by adding other ancient Classical Languages like Pāli, Prākṛta and Apabhraṁśas along with Sanskrit. The NCC, completed in 42 volumes (of which 39 volumes are published so far), covers more than 1000 catalogues (compared to 56 by Aufrecht) and several other lists including journals and historical studies on diverse subjects.

Use of digital applications and electronic equipments is ushering a new era for the study of manuscripts as well. These rapid advancements necessitate a careful and thorough assessment of the desirability, as also possible concerns, of employing them and call for a judicious integration of the new techniques in the workflow of the study and editing of manuscripts. The main aim of this research group is to review and revise the study of South and Southeast Asian manuscripts in the context of the fast evolving discipline of Digital Humanities.
