The Department of Library and Information Science was established in the year 2010. Department ever since its inception continues to play its role of leadership in Library and Information Science education. In order to keep pace with the changing and complex needs of libraries and documentation centres in the country, the Department took concrete steps in 2012 to introduce new areas of study in information science and management such as ‘Information Technology Applications in Libraries’, ‘Digital Libraries’ and ‘Information Storage and Retrieval’ in its curriculum. Department revised its syllabi in 2013 as per Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) & again new papers were introduced in MLISc.
