But, what is the use of a library which has books that belong to the olden times and the technologies mentioned in the books are obsolete to what are being used today? In order to prevent any such mishaps from occurring at VIT, VIT has founded its very own Library Committee, which looks into the maintenance of the library. This committee has been founded with the main aim of representing the students and the faculties need for books and taking appropriate steps in obtaining the same. The committee aims at maintain the up keep of the library by populating the same with all the latest journals, magazines, books and papers that can be referred to by the students and the faculty members of VIT.
