Library

The Library of Rama Devi Women’s College was started in 1964. The present library is housed in a three stored separate building which is named as Kuntala Kumari Library. It has a collection of 52,000 books subscribing to 50 Indian journals, 10 newspapers and 20 magazines. There are seven staff working in the library. In 2004, the Library started modernizing by automation with LAN connection to different aspects of services. The books available in the Library have been bar coded to facilitate easy and faster circulation. In order to facilitate visually impaired students, the narrator Jaws software is available for use. The college was declared as Rama Devi Women’s University on 31st May 2015 and accordingly the Library became Rama Devi Women’s University Library. However, the name of the library was named after Kuntala Kumari Sabat, a noted women literary personality in Odisha in February,2021. As per the rule laid down in the statute of the University, the Library Committee is constituted to deal with general administration of the Library and frame the relevant rules subject to approval of the authority of the University. However, the day to day management of the Library is to be looked after by the Librarian under the overall supervision of the Professor-in-Charge, Library.
