The National Library Week (14–20 November) concluded at the South Asian Institute of Rural and Agricultural Management (SAIRAM), Langjing Achouba. Throughout the week, activities such as read-aloud sessions, book exhibitions and a drawing competition were organised to promote a vibrant reading culture among students. A large number of B.Sc. and M.Sc. Agriculture and Horticulture students participated enthusiastically.
During the closing function, M.Sc. students Ayam Kemrin, Ningthoujam Joshina and Khumbongmayum Priyadarshini were awarded Certificates of Merit for their outstanding involvement in programme coordination, event management and reading-promotion activities.

Brojendra Singh, Faculty of Horticulture, described the week-long initiative as an effective step toward reconnecting the younger generation with libraries.
