English abstract

The existence of an information management strategy gives long term confidence in the direction of development, cost-effectiveness measured over a long term, and stability in infrastructure of a State Agricultural University (SAU) and its operations. The paper views that the delay in achieving the objectives of Agricultural Research Information System Program is the lack of a foolproof Information and Communication Technology (ICT) strategy and argues that in the process of developing information strategy; information component should be well understood if benefits are to be derived from that. Explains ICT and its application in an SAU in the broad sense of information systems and information management which are mainly ICT based. The study establishes that in strategy evolving, factors which ensure optimal choice of target applications and impact on the choice of successful applications implementation are to be recognized. Hence a framework and an understanding of the scope and aims of the strategic planning exercised by librarians, information scientists and others involved is essential.
