Library Management Committee (LMC)
“Library is the heart of an institution.”
– Radhakrishnan
Message from LMC coordinator
Classroom-based education is no longer sufficient for today’s learning expectations. In this knowledge-based world, we are more interested in learning about topics that are closely related to our field of study or occupation. The library plays an essential role in broadening students’ knowledge and supporting them in improving their abilities and attaining success in this environment.
