About The Library
Library plays a very critical role in supporting the academic programmes of the institute. It identifies, evaluates, procures, processes and then makes these learning resources available to the faculty and students for their teaching, learning and research process. That is why, Dr.S.R.Ranganathan, Father of Library Science in India has said that “The Library is the trinity of Learning Resources, Faculty/Students and the Library Staff”.
