Commending the efforts of the Department of Library Science, Dr. Sahir emphasized the importance of aligning research with contemporary social and societal needs.
He acknowledged that all the research projects prepared by the students addressed current demands effectively.
Speaking about the history, significance, and necessity of libraries, Prof. Dr. Abdul Sahir remarked that there was a time when libraries held a central position in society.
However, the younger generation’s interest in reading books has declined compared to the past.
He stressed the need to restore the bond with books and rebuild the strong connection that once existed to achieve prominence in society. This research-based poster presentation was organized by the Department of Library and Information Science.
