Promotion Scheme
An understanding of students and how they learn is essential in developing an institution. Library and information services of technical institutions play a central role in enhancing the quality of the academic and research environment. To meet end-user demands effectively, libraries need to identify and adopt good practices and benchmarks. With that objective, the library started the practice of declaring Best Users every month from the year 2013.
