Khatri said, "There are many students who belong to really poor financial background and cannot afford buying books. For such students, this library is the only source of knowledge."There are many students who work part time to finance their education and support their family at the same time. "If the library is open all through the day and night, these students will get enough time to spend in the library and study, irrespective of the time."

But before that we have to make some preparations, such as providing extra benches and lighting inside the library and arranging for proper security for students who come to study at night."The students are also demanding that the library stocks up on recent editions of books and provides free Wi-Fi. Arvind Kumar , a student said, "The books in the library are very old and outdated.
