Introduction:

The college has a very good library having books related to social work and supportive subjects. The basic books on social work are still our valued treasure as most of these books are not available in the open market now a day. The books are available in three languages viz. English, Hindi and Marathi to cater to the needs of all our students. The library has got a collection of encyclopedias, which is seldom found in social work colleges. Besides we make available to the students national and international journals pertaining to their subjects and fields. Dailies, local and national in all three languages are subscribed so that the students are up-to-date with what is going on around. We follow the latest library module to maintain the books and rare books are kept in the reserve. During the academic year we have added 300 new books on various subjects. At present there are 7520 books available in the library.
