Mridula Sinha and words of encouragement through a video message by the Hon'ble Union Minister of Human Resources and Development, Shri Prakash Javadekar in the presence of Honb'le Vice Chancellor of Goa University, Shri Varun Sahni. The presentations during the event from National and International speakers were extremely thought provoking and a learning experience for all the delegates. The star attraction of the event was two awards - the Best Koha Library Award and The LibTECH Award (for the Best technology enabled library). We received 12 nominations for Koha Award and 11 nominations for the LibTECH Award. The conclave concluded with the presentation of awards to the winners as under: 1.
