He mentioned that importance of library as “temples of learning” and a librarian as “Teacher of Teachers” is immense in the field of education. He said, digital India has been initiated long back by the librarians and some of the libraries in the National Agricultural Research and Education System (NARES) have already made a difference by developing into good libraries despite several constraints. The libraries have the most important contribution in the lives of students, farming and teaching community therefore the strength and weaknesses of each library may be identified and addressed as per the requirements of present day.
