has gone one more step forward to build ‘Smart Bangladesh’ envisioned by
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

submit those through using the card besides using koha open software. As a
result, they are able to find out and download their necessary books
preserved in the library also in the koha software.

teachers in phases.
