The library is one of the best equipped libraries in India. Being a research oriented institute, it provides the required support to the academic and research activities. It remains open on all working days from 8 am to 2 am including Saturdays. It also remains open during the Sundays and the Gazetted holidays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. It added 420 (four hundred twenty) volumes in its fold including 361 books and 59 as gifted. It also added 2560 bound volumes of the journals during the period from 1st April 2005 to 31st March 2006. It has a total collection of 42825 (Forty two thousand eight hundred twenty five) of books and bound volumes. It subscribed 222 journals during the period under report. It includes 105 as online journals.

During the last year basic emphasis was provided to the conversion of the Video Cassettes to VCD format for durability. Recently the library web page has been reconstructed which provides more detailed information about the library such as subscribed databases, archives, library rules, library staff, list of online journals, online link to the Video lectures and other useful links. The emphasis was also given to procure maximum number of journals on line. We have been providing on-line access of the periodical to our users for 105(One hundred five) titles.

We provided the Web Enabled library catalogue to our users. The library can be termed as completely automated library system, which includes acquisition, cataloging, circulation, search modules etc. This on-line catalogue had increased the opportunities of the use of our library resources by the neighboring organizations such as INSDOC, TIFR etc. through the Document Delivery Services (DDS). Normally we provide the DDS on request through post, at very nominal cost, but requests had also been honoured through e-mail. We had encouraged the use of the library by providing the library consultation facilities to the research scholars from the neighboring institutes. We had strengthened our library security with the implementation of Electro-magnetic Tattle Tapes to reduce the losses.
