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.
