Libraries are the backbone of any developed society. It is said that “the nation who reads, is the nation that leads”. This statement is true for the development of any society and Library Science is a systematic process of organizing and maintaining books, magazines and journals. Library science deals with categorizations of knowledge and information. So, in this regard the department tries to make the society educated formally and informally through the classroom method by training young professionals and also help in the continuing education as well as adult education programme. Public Administration is a crucial sector for any country. A developed or developing country needs administrative officers to run various branches of administration in an efficient way.
