"DU has spent Rs 4 lakh on getting the books and Rs 2 lakh on computers. Students can become members by submitting a form signed by the principal of their college and paying a nominal fee,'' said S Majumdar, head librarian, DU.

"There are so many colleges in the vicinity. Considering the peaceful environment at the Mission, the library will be an ideal place where students can study,'' said Swami Shantatmananda, secretary, Ramakrishna Mission.
