Library: A library is a house of aspiration; it is a place where we all, whatever our situation is, can feed our ideas to ultimately lead ourselves to the achievement. As a matter of fact, every student’s alma matter is books, a library where s/he can spend the rest of his/her life reading, simply satisfying his/her curiosity. It is a kind of paradise to the students because reading can take them to places they have never been before.
Computer Facilities: Without exaggeration it can be affirmed that life in the post-modern world would have remained incomplete without computer and its application in achieving the goals of the teacher and the taught by providing them with an effective infrastructure. Two separate computer laboratories have been developed in the college—one in the main building for the Under-Graduate Students, and the other in the Post-Graduate Building for the Post-Graduate Students. Above mentioned Computer Labs with 40 nodes abundantly help the students for web browsing and accessing on-line resources for learning.
