The Governor said that, the collections of books should be very carefully done so that the library apart from quenching the thirsts of knowledge, stimulates physical and mental faculties.
Prof Mukhi hoped that the setting up of the library would help the officers and staff of Raj Bhavan to increase their thinking potential and give them time and scope to spend their time in library.
It may be mentioned that the digital library and art gallery would be constructed by the State Public Works Department (PWD) with a total cost of Rs 205.545 lakh.
