“us. In our college, we have taken former President
Dr. Radhakrishnan’s observation that “the library is the
heart of an institution” very seriously. No resources and
efforts have been spared to make our college library the
best in West Bengal. The Central Library hosts 65,000
print and 100,000 electronic books and journals, serving
the education needs of 6,000 students and 150 teachers.
It also offers air-conditioned and wi-fi equipped read-

have integrated Koha, a library management system,
which incorporates RFID technology to automate library
administration” — Dr. Monojit Ray (left), Principal,
