Miller Memorial Library
An extensive library that was established in 1863, it is now housed in an elegant building, designed in anticipation of a visit by then Indian prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, in 1987. Ahead of its time, this is an eco-friendly design, housing shrubs in arboriums within its glass walls. The library has several thousand books and periodicals in every course administered by the college and many others. A section of these books and journals are now being digitized for use by the students. The library has facilities for visually handicapped students to read in Braille. Several volunteer students assist them in this exercise, especially under the National Service Scheme (NSS) program.

—Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
“Every library should try to be complete on something, if it were only the history of pinheads.”
