Services & Facilites

The Knowledge Resource Centre is engaged in developing reading interest among the students and teachers of The Bhawanipur Education Society College. The reading room is open from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm, Monday to Saturday. The students come here for regular, course-related study as well as to prepare themselves for competitive examinations. Reading is a pleasure and with surroundings so serene and serious, it is easy to concentrate. This section is much appreciated by those who use it.

Circulation Services

Students, faculty, non-teaching staff become members of the library on joining the organisation and can avail the facilities and services provided by the library.
