Library facility

Library facility is one of important services in any educational institute. In addition to the Self
Learning Materials (SLMs) the University wants to provide the library facility to all of its
registered students/ learners for additional resources. But to cater to the needs of huge number of
registered students, the University needs unlimited libraries to provide educational support to
every one. To cope with the situation, the University has initiated the process of setting up a
strategic partnership with the existing network of Public Libraries that are available in the State
of West Bengal to offer educational support to our learners all over the State. This initiative
taken by NSOU is the first of its kind in the country.
With the active support from Department of Mass Education Extension and Library Services,
Govt. of West Bengal, the strategic partnership has been started with the following Public
Libraries at different locations in the first phase. The students/ learners of the our University may
avail library services at these libraries during their working hours.
