About Library

The Library of the College was established in 1964 the same year of the College foundation. It was founded for realising the institutional mission and vision of contributing to the academic pursuits of the students, the faculty members and the office staff. Started with a humble beginning, the Library has come a long way in terms of quality and quantity of subscription of Books, Journals, Newspapers, Periodicals, E-resources, etc. and has catered to the diverse needs of the students and teaching community. The existing library building of the college was constructed in the year 2019. J.D.S.G. College Library was shifted to its new permanent building in July, 2019 and renamed as Central Library, J.D.S.G. College. The Library is run by a Library Committee with funds received from the Government, UGC, RUSA, Alumni Association and fees collected from the students. Presently a numbers of facilities have been opened up for the students and other users of the library. These include Reprographic Facility, Internet surfing/downloading/printing access to E-Resources like e-journals, e- books etc. The housekeeping operation of the library is done by integrated library management software SOUL-1 supplied by INFLIBNET Centre  Ahmadabad. Keeping in tune of its mission and vision, the Library has opened a special collection of books, magazines, souvenirs, documentary, etc. pertaining to the locality of Bokakhat. In addition to it we have another special collection of books, Souvenir Articles, Seminar Papers, Video CDs, Documentary, etc on the Kaziranga National Park. In order to create awareness and give a boost to the general reading habits of the students and others. The Library has been organising book Fairs, Quiz Competitions, etc. in the College premises in collaboration with Book Publishers.

In order to create awareness and give a boost to the general reading habits of the students and others, the library has been providing Mobile Library Services to the school’s Students of the locality. To promote the reading habit among the students of the college there is a provision in the library to give “Best Library User Award” every year to the selected student. The award comprises of a cash prize of Rs. 1000.00, A Dictionary and a certificate.  It has also organized recitation, popular lectures, etc. to commemorate the occasions. It needs to be mentioned that in its onward march towards improvement and up gradation, the Library has been getting the sincere help and cooperation of the Alumni Association since 2002.
