ABOUT LIBRARY

Kabi Nazrul College, in Murarai in the district of Birbhum was established in the year 1985 as lone institute of higher education in such a remote area where the light of proper education has not yet fully reached. It deserves special mention that all sections of people, the haves and the havenots, have rendered yeoman’s service to the construction and development of the institutions situated mainly in a poverty stricken locality where most of the people are steeped in illiteracy, ignorance and superstitions.

The college emerged only with two rooms with a view to education the pupils coming from backward communities and working class people,most of whom were first generations learners. The library was started with just one table, one char and 56 books only. In course of time the library flourished. Now it has a separate room accommodating 14443 books and a small reading room for students. Library management software KOHA is fully operational.
