Dean & Faculty Chairman
Welcome to the automated Learning Resource Centre of the College of Agriculture, Kota. Our library is the intellectual core of our academic fraternity, seamlessly bridging traditional research with global repositories. By leveraging modern platforms like Koha automation, WebOPAC, and diverse e-resources, we provide immediate access to vital scientific data. I encourage our students, research scholars, and faculty to optimize these assets to reach new milestones in agricultural innovation.
Welcome to the Learning Resource Centre
The Central Library serves as the hub of learning support services, standing at the center of teaching, learning, and research activities for the entire academic fraternity on campus.
Guided by the Library Advisory Committee (LAC), the facility integrates advanced ICT frameworks such as RFID configurations and Koha automation solutions to support information dissemination effectively.
