About the Library

The library is broadly divided into two parts, Reading Section and Circulation Section. Both sections separately have a good number of printed documents, including textbooks, reference books. The circulation section consists of books of all the UG/PG courses covered by the different classes of the college and one can issue a designated number of books from this section.

In order to support the teaching in the college, the library is working on to subscribe both print and electronic based journals.
