About the Library
The college library was founded in October 1970 with a few donated books. Today, it is enriched with approximately 27,000 books, subscription to about 52 print journals, periodicals, magazines and 13 daily newspapers (English & Hindi). The library also has a dedicated reading room with a seating capacity of 250 students and faculty members.

The complete database of library holdings is available on OPAC and can be searched by author, title, subject, ISBN etc. The circulation system uses Bar Code Technology.
