Best Ways of Knowledge Situation in the Anand Niketan College of Agriculture Library: A Case Study

The paper succinctly describes the best ways of knowledge situation at the Anand Niketan College of Agriculture Library, managed by the Maharogi Sewa Samiti, Anandwan, Warora, in the backward and tribal region of Maharashtra. Maharogi Sewa Samiti, Anandwan has been a pioneer in medical treatment and rehabilitation of leprosy patients in the world.The best ways are to use the available resources with the management, such as human resource skill of leprosy patients, assistance of various sections (civil, electric, fabrication, carpentry and general section) for the development of infrastructure, renovation of the building, furniture, electrification, gardening, etc., in the interest of the institute and its users. Financial resources have been generated from private agencies for the development of the library. Currently, the library is well-equipped and rendering conventional and non-conventional information services to the users. The library is not receiving any financial assistance from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) and the state government and, therefore, the best ways described in this paper are found to be quite useful for the development of the library and the users to fulfill the objective i.e. agriculture education, research and extension.
