Book Bank scheme


"Book Bank is a section of library, where text book, reference books and other miscellaneous books can be reserved for some special categories of users. Main aim of setting up Book Bank is to encourage the meritorious students by providing informational and educational assistance. User with sound finance can buy the books from their own but user with poor economic background can’t afford to buy their required information sources.

Practicing book bank services can help to overcome such a situation to some extent. Book Bank is developed for the upliftment of the economically backward, differently abled, backward class students and to reduce the rate of failure among them. Since we are developing country, majority of our population is not economically rich and to support all the economically backward students, Book Bank is a much demanded service.
