Reading Room

The School aims to collect and disseminate information on issues of interest to researchers as well as the general public. One aim is to collect material relevant to the Indian situation and share these with other researchers, students, activists and NGOs in the field. We have already acquired a substantial collection of books and non-book materials, which include both audio and video cassettes, pamphlets, reports, conference papers, occasional papers, newsletters, posters, newspaper clippings etc. Books are lent only to students, faculty and staff members of the university but users can avail restricted reprographic facilities.

In addition to the Reading Room, a substantial part of the collection of books reside with the reference section of the Central Library of the University.
