Since February 2008, the Teesta-Indus Central Library has been expanding in rented space with a floor area of around 1000 square feet. It currently takes up more than 9000 square feet and has enough for over 70 000 volumes. Building a strong university library has been a priority for universities from the beginning. The university library is regarded as the center of the institution’s academic life and serves as its central database. One of the key goals of the institution is to strengthen the collection and enhance the services. Despite being a young library with just roughly 14 years of existence, located in a rented facility, and operating with a minimal staff size of 15, it is equivalent to any other old university library in the nation.
