The Indian Agricultural Research Institute is the heart of the Institute. For the last 90 years, the Library has expanded to meet the ever growing needs of the scientific and student community of the Institue and of the country as a whole. It has assumed the de facto status of National Agriultural Library of India and has been regarded as one of the 10 best agrobiological libraries of the world.
The IARI library was established as an organ of the Institute at Pusa (Bihar) in 1905 with a small collection of 5,000 publications donated by the Department of Agriculture, Govt. of India. After the devastating earth-quake in 1934, the Insitute was shifted with the Library to its present campus in New Delhi, where it was inaugurated in 1936 by Lord Linlithgow, the then Viceroy and Governor of India, and the Library was named after him as Linlithgow Library.
The Library today houses over 6,00,000 highly specialised research publications on agriculture and related sciences consisting of books, monographs, reference materials, journals, advances and annual reviews, abstracting and indexing journals, translated periodicals, statistical and data publications, bulletins (series publications), reports, pamphlets, reprints, news clippings, post graduated thesis of IARI and ICAR research fellowship thesis. The collection gets enriched annually at the rate of 8,000 to 9,000 documents. The Library has 10,500 serial files, and 4,000 current serials are being procured from 80 countries through subscription, gifts and exchanges.
