The purpose of this study was to investigate the awareness and usage of digital tools by deans in administrative procedures of State Agricultural Universities of India. Also, an investigation into the impact of digital tools in terms of academic development with the deans’ eye was conducted. Sample consisted of 20 Deans belonging to ten SAUs of northern India comprising twenty diverse colleges of agricultural sciences who were selected through Simple Random Sampling method. Data were collected with the help of semi-structured interview schedule developed for the purpose along with informal observation and discussions. Majority of the deans under study were aware of various digital tools except for e-portfolio. All of them were using computers, Wi-Fi, smart phones daily but LCD projectors were used occasionally. Deans of various colleges under study had never used tele-conferencing, e-portfolio, digital student report card system and virtual classrooms for administrative process. Online admissions, Student Information System (SIS), online payment of fees and student-staff communication through e-mail were considered to be time saving and accurate tools facilitating the administrative procedures. Deans agreed to the fact that transparency & accountability and governance has improved to an extent of more than 76% to 90%. It is recommended that there should be refresher courses for the college administrators exposing them to novel digital tools like e-portfolio, digital report card system and virtual classrooms which are much needed in this new normal.
