About Library
The University Library was established in
the year 1958. This is a unique library in the country devoted primarily to the
study and research on Indian Classical Music and Visual arts.
The State Library of the Khairagarh State called Edward Library was merged in
the Janpad Library and later the Janpad Library was merged in the university
library, therefore this library is having very useful and rare books on
contemporary history, literature and some other disciplines. Our
university was recognized by the U. G. C. in the year 1971. After receiving the
grants from the U. G. C. the University library started to develop faster. The
separate library building was constructed during the sixth five-year plan by
100% UGC grants.
Our Library has a unique collection dedicated to education
and research in the field of music, dance, folk music and visual arts. Library
has rich collection of more than 45 thousand books, 2400 plus back volumes of
research journals, more than 430 thesis and 40 plus subscribed journals.
Library also has special section for visually challenged users. In this section
we have brail literature, audio books, brail typewriter and printer with
computer for visually challenged users.
Library has the membership of DELNET, which provides
access to selected international full-text journals from various fields,
including Arts. University has signed a MoU with IGNCA, New Delhi and INGLIBNET
