WELCOME TO YOGODA SATSANGA MAHAVIDYALAYA CENTRAL LIBRARY

Dear Students,

Welcome!

I would like to share the vision of our founder Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda: The chief aim of education is to ameliorate the body, mind, and soul. The principle of ‘live and let live’ should be prevalent in the life of man. The practical ways he proposed are closely related to the development of the modern education system in India. In pursuit of this mission, the Central Library provides a range of information sources, covering the various subject areas that are useful for the students.

In the digital age, when information is just a click away, the library stands as a reminder of the pleasure of flipping through pages, of the serenity found in the hushed environment, and of the joy in discovering something unexpected while browsing the shelves. It's also a space where you can find guidance from our dedicated library staff; they are happy to assist you in locating the right resources for your interests.

Our endeavors to improve your experience and make use of Technology, in the recent past we have introduced Public Access Catalogue (OPAC) on cloud to facilitate remote access of our Library resources. Apart from the Online Public Access Catalogue we also introduced Library Repository software namely Dspace to share digital documents.

On behalf of the Yogoda Satsanga Mahavidyalaya family, I pray to God and Guru to bestow their blessings. I wish you all the best in achieving your true goal of joining the mainstream of life as a well-balanced professional who will make his/her parents and us proud by succeeding in every endeavour.

Jai Guru!
