Information and Communication Technology (ICT), E-resources are least used
due to the lack of knowledge to browse the same to get relevant
information. Unfortunately both our educators and administrators have not
fully succeeded to explore the plethora of information available on the
net.  Such type of training programme will help our academician  to make
optimum use of web based resources.  If such kind of intellectual
activities continue, the university will cherish to remain at the helm of
the higher education in the country.

During* *the presidential address, *Prof. Anwar Jahan Zuberi, *the
