As a part of fight against
illiteracy, libraries are messengers of knowledge and education. Education
bereft of library services is like a body without soul. Education and library
services are the two faces of a coin and one cannot live apart from the other.
The library is a key to the world of knowledge and acquisition of knowledge
will help enlighten the personality of an individual at the vital, spiritual
and mental levels and will inculcate social virtues and foster intellectual
development to make him a worthy citizen.
A well-housed and well-managed
library is the foundation of modern educational structure. To keep pace with
the ever-pending field of knowledge the library is being updated from time to
time. Our library is completely automated by making use of the Information
Technology (‘e-lib’ Library Software). The users are given free of cost access
to INTERNET and free e-access to N-LIST in our Digital Library. We are sure to
keep ourselves in the mainstream by sensitizing library to the ever-changing
needs of the stakeholders.
