We had been representing before the Government and other authorities that increased assistance had to be upon new fields which were basically the duties of a Public Library. These included a Center for providing information on all matters of interest, a center for providing information of Job Opportunities, and a Center for providing information on educational opportunities in Indian Universities and abroad. Computerization with internet facilities was also essential. We are very happy indeed to notice that the necessity of a qualitative improvement in the facilities has been now recognized by the State Library Council, which has now started a scheme of assisting certain selected institutions as a first step in this direction. Under this scheme, this library will be getting a total amount of Rs.9,07,000/- which includes Rs.1,92,000/- for computerization and Internet, Rs.1,00,000/- for Multimedia,C.D.Rom, etc,Rs.1,00,000/- for a Photostat machine,Rs.1,00,000/- for developing the Children's Section, Rs.2,00,000/- for Career Information Section, Rs.2,00,000/- for buying books, and Rs. 15,000/- for buying software. Besides this, annual grants will also be provided as contribution towards additional amounts to be paid to the staff.

We take this as a first step in improving the resources of District Libraries to meet the expanding needs of the Public Library.

During the financial year 2006-07, 1593 persons have enrolled theselves as members.We have purchased 2444 volumes of books having face value of Rs.5,30,198 and we've received 1282 volumes of books having face value of Rs. 1,42,310 by way of gift.
