It is the one of the most important component of an educational institution, a component where knowledge grows continuously.

Education and library are two indivisible concepts, both being fundamentally and synchronically related to and co-existent with each other. The library is the store house of knowledge that helps to achieve the objectives of education, conservation of knowledge and ideas as well as teaching and research programmes.
