dc.description.abstractIn 2015, the United Nations established the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) framework, aiming to combat poverty, promote equality and justice, and achieve sustainable development worldwide by 2030. In order to emphasize the critical role that libraries play in sustainable development, the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) adopted the UN Agenda 2030.This study aims to investigate the awareness and perspectives of library professionals in Assam regarding the UN's SDGs. A structured questionnaire was created with the study's aims in mind, and it was sent to Assamese library professionals both offline and online. A total 233 Library Professionals respond we have received. The study showed that the majority of participants were aware of the SDGs, and 44.54% of them strongly committed to advancing these goals through their library work. However, the study also found that a significant 89.7% of respondents reported a lack of collaboration with external organizations or stakeholders to advance the SDGs. The study examined the challenges faced by library professionals in Assam in promoting the SDGs and it found that lack of awareness among library staff and inadequate training as the primary obstacles.en_US
