Saurashtra University's modern library remains closed even 3 months after inauguration

Even after 3 months have passed since the inauguration of the state-of-the-art library at Rajkot-based Saurashtra University, it has not yet been opened for students, according to a report by Sandesh.

This library has been prepared in the university campus at a cost of crores of rupees, but due to the negligence of the administration, its doors remain locked.

More than 5 lakh invaluable books related to various disciplines, research, and competitive examinations have been collected in this library. Despite being equipped with modern reading facilities and a quiet environment, thousands of students and researchers are unable to avail themselves of these facilities due to the library being closed, and they are facing great hardship.

The library was inaugurated with great pomp and show, but its use has not commenced after the inauguration. This facility remains closed due to administrative laziness, raising serious questions against the university authorities. There is significant resentment among students regarding this matter, and they are raising questions as to when this library will open.

Saurashtra University was established on 23 May, 1967, in Rajkot city. Its administrative headquarters is located in Rajkot. Currently, 272 colleges from Amreli, Jamnagar, Junagadh, Porbandar, Rajkot, and Surendranagar districts are affiliated with this university.
