FEEDBACK

The NILDS Library is very conducive for reading and conducting research. It is almost impossible not to have availability of books related to one’s research. The Library services are “Top Notch”. Staff are friendly, yet very professional. They are ever ready to assist one whenever the need arises. I am delighted to have benefited from the services rendered by the Library and I do recommend their service to every student and researcher. I doubt I would have graduated as both the best Masters graduating student and best Female student in 2021 without the support of the Library
