Our Mission

Right information, for every reader

To provide right information to college students so they can achieve their highest academic potential, and to help them acquire the research skills necessary for lifelong learning. The library supports teaching faculty and administrative staff, and participates in cooperative information exchange within the wider library and educational community.

Established in 2000, the library is automated on SOUL 3.0 and holds a growing collection strong in holistic, spiritual and mythological subjects, alongside a dedicated back-volume section for research-oriented study.

"Books are for use. Every book its reader. Every reader, their book. Save the time of the reader. The library is a growing organism."
Five Laws of Library Science — Dr. S. R. Ranganathan, Father of Library Science in India
