Institutional facilities including library, class rooms and offices are adequate to support the
objectives of the program.
Standard 7-1: The Institution must have the infrastructure to support new trends in
learning such as e-learning.
a) Departmental library and internet facility
Currently there is no departmental library however copies of internship reports, reviews, theses and
dissertations of the students are placed in the office of the office superintendent and are available
for the students. Faculty and students use the Central Library of the University. The
Departmental library needs to be upgraded however. Internet facility is available in offices of the
faculty and Main Computer Laboratory of the University. A large number of international research
journals are also available through HEC Digital Library and research articles of interest can be
downloaded. However, these facilities are insufficient to cater the requirements of the students and
need improvement.
b) Main library
Faculty members and students of Department of Agricultural Economics are allowed to use the
main library during and after normal working hours. The main library provides the following
services;
i. Course books and reference matierial
ii. Internet and e-learning resources
iii. Digital library with access to journals and e-books
c) Offices
Each faculty of the Department has its own office. However, Ph.D. students share offices.

computerized. Though the library has the latest literature on Agricultural Economics, yet this
literature covers only some aspects of the subject.
Standard 7-3: Class rooms must be adequately equipped and offices must be adequate to
enable faculty to carry out their responsibility.
Classrooms
Presently, the Department uses its two classrooms for teaching purpose. Although, these
