Facilities
Central Library
The college library is a store-house of knowledge with over 15,000 volumes, technical journals, NDLI e-resources, and spacious reading room facilities.
Library can be considered a store-house of knowledge. In dictionaries the word “library” has been defined as “a building or room containing a collection of books”. A well-stocked library is a positive feature of the college. A library has a librarian to guide and attend to the readers. A library is a place where not only books but also journals, magazines and newspapers are well-stocked for the benefit of the readers. It helps the spread of education. The library is a boon for poor students who cannot afford to buy text books or other books of their interest. They can borrow these books and read or study them at ease at home. A library is thus a help to society.
The mission of the college library is to facilitate creation of new knowledge through acquisition, organization and dissemination of knowledge resources and providing value added services.
Library rules
A student can borrow a book for the duration of 7 days and a staff member for 30 days. The books may be reissued to the bearer after their surrender of the books on the due date.
Every book borrowed from the library should be returned on the date marked on the date slip. It will be reissued to the same student for a further period of 7 days if it has not been applied for by other students in the mean time. The book should be shown to the Librarian at the time of renewal.
Students are prohibited from sub-lending the books.
The librarian may recall any book at any time even before the expiry of the normal period of lending.
Absence from the college will not be ordinarily admitted as an excuse for delay in returning the books on the due date.
If a student fails to return a book on the due date, a fine of Rs.10/- for the first day and Rs.2/- for each subsequent day will be levied. Sundays and holidays are excluded.
A student who fails to return the borrowed library book or to pay the fine in due time will be liable to disciplinary action.
Books will be issued only on presentation of the identity card and library card bearing the name, class, departmental number and signature of the student. In case the card is lost the Librarian should be informed at once. No one is allowed to borrow books by producing another's library card. A lost card may be replaced by a duplicate card after one month on payment of Rs.100/-.
