Library

Our college library makes an earnest effort to complement classroom studies through a wide variety of books, journals, magazines, e-resources, newspapers. Through this vast collection of offline and online resources, it caters to the needs of the faculty members and the students alike. The services are aimed at not only fulfilling the demands of its users, but also understanding the requirements of students, a considerable number of whom are first generation learners and hail from humble backgrounds. The library makes students familiar with different types of available resources to ensure optimum use of textual and reference materials for their study, for research, and for pleasure. A good number of reference books, discipline-specific books, fiction, non-fiction, archival material are available in the library. Digital copies and links to online newspapers and magazines are also there in the collection to develop reading habits in students.
