The history of the library dates back to the foundation of the college in 1983. The library had its developments along with the development of the college on the whole. It was first housed in 4 cupboards in Sarvodaya Balika Vidyalaya library which is another institution of parent organization “Rajasthani Sammelan.” The library was then looked after by school librarian Mrs. Sachdeva.

When extension building was ready it was on July 27th 1984, the library was shifted to the 3rd floor of the extension building of Sarvodaya Balika Vidyalaya with 271 books, 4 cupboards and sitting arrangement of 25 students. In the year 1985 it was housed in the ground floor room of the same building accommodating 50 students.

Rain water flooded the library damaging many books, registers, magazines, newspapers, & other material. Request was made and granted to shift the library to the first floor in 1991.

Library moved from room to room before finally being settled in the present room on the 5th floor of the new college building in May 1998.

A library is not merely a place to store books; it is the heart of an academic institution. Through

various library activities, we aim to transform the library into a vibrant learning space that

encourages curiosity, creativity, and lifelong learning.

Our library activities such as orientation programs, book exhibitions, reading sessions,

information literacy workshops, and awareness programs on digital resources help students

develop essential academic and research skills. These activities guide students in effectively

using information, improving reading habits, and enhancing their overall learning experience.

About Library

The history of the library dates back to the foundation of the college in 1983. The library had its developments along with the development of the college on the whole. It was first housed in 4 cupboards in Sarvodaya Balika Vidyalaya library which is another institution of parent organization “Rajasthani Sammelan.” The library was then looked after by school librarian Mrs. Sachdeva.

When extension building was ready it was on July 27th 1984, the library was shifted to the 3rd floor of the extension building of Sarvodaya Balika Vidyalaya with 271 books, 4 cupboards and sitting arrangement of 25 students. In the year 1985 it was housed in the ground floor room of the same building accommodating 50 students.

Rain water flooded the library damaging many books, registers, magazines, newspapers, & other material. Request was made and granted to shift the library to the first floor in 1991.

Library moved from room to room before finally being settled in the present room on the 5th floor of the new college building in May 1998.
