The South Asian Institute of Rural & Agricultural Management (SAIRAM), Langjing Achouba, Imphal, organized a Technical and Support Bulletin Release Program at the institute’s library hall. The program aimed to provide practical academic resources to support students and faculty in agricultural research and extension activities.
The event commenced with a welcome address by Dr. N. Olivia Devi, Assistant Professor of Plant Pathology, who outlined the objectives of the program and encouraged students to contribute actively to the development of simple, useful academic resources.
