Delhi Public Library

This marked my inaugural visit to this library. The Delhi Public Library boasts numerous branches, and beneath its umbrella, students converge for self-study, where an extensive collection of public books beckons avid readers. It is strategically situated just opposite the Old Delhi Railway Station, adjacent to Gate No. 2 of the Chandni Chowk Metro Station.

To gain access, a library card is essential. If you are a newcomer, a new registration is required to procure this vital card, and the registration window opens at 10:00 AM.

The library's standard operating hours commence at 8:00 AM.

It was established on 27 October 1951 as a project sponsored by UNESCO and the Government of India. The library project dates to 1944, when Shri Ramkrishna Dalmia donated most of the amount required to construct a library building at the request of Gen. Sir Claude Auchinleck. In February 1950 the Indian government and UNESCO agreed to initiate the project, and the library was officially opened on 27 October 1951, by then Prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru. The library buildings were acquired between 1951 and 1953, with operations formally transferred from UNESCO to the Indian Government in 1955. The library provides training facilities to student librarians and social education workers from its early days. It is very near to old Delhi railways station and to chandni chowk metro station. Only thing is that the area around the library is not that clean and somewhat this all hides the library infrastructure itself with others. A lot of changes has been made in the library and still there are some modification going on. In the coming time the government will make it much better. There is self-study room, newspaper room kids study room, computer room, yoga classroom and a big hall or auditorium for any event. Overall it is good and getting better. Good and nice reading rooms. nice atmosphere for study. Library environment is compatible to studying. Nominal charges for registration process and other formalities Many rare and old books of reputed writers are available for studies must visit here if come to old Delhi.

DPL is much better than any private library as it's spacious and better facilities to study not only your syllabus but also help to gain your knowledge in every field as DPL provides newspaper & magazines along with 45 mins internet usage ( only for educational purpose ) and had a auditorium where seminars conducts frequently. I m highly recommend you to be a part of DPL Chandni Chowk it's worthfull if you are really into studies.
