Central Library

Library and Information Centre

Students should possess at least one text book for each subject of their study. It may be noted that library is not a provider of text books to students for their routine studies. Library is a reservoir of various sources of information and knowledge and students should utilize library as a source of additional information. They should cultivate the habit of studying in the library during library hours instead of leaving the college soon after the class work is over. All eligible SC/ST students should make use of the SC/ST book bank for their text books.
