Abstract
The current study was undertaken in Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Jabalpur at College of Agriculture, Jabalpur among post-graduate students with 108 students as respondents with the aim to study their profile characteristics. On studying eight independent and one dependent variable, it was found that majority of the respondents were male, from rural background with less than 3 lakh family income per annum, had 7-8 OGPA and had medium awareness about e-resources, medium availability of ICT tools, medium accessibility of e-resources, most of them trainings on e-resources and medium utilization of e-resources. Strengthening the infrastructure for e-resources, providing more training and ensuring easy access to these tools within college libraries will be vital for fostering academic excellence andbridging the digital divide. Investing in these areas will not only support students in their current academic endeavors but will also better prepare them for future challenges in an increasingly digital world.
