A budget provision of Rs. 20,000 was made for the Library and about 1,500 books were immediately acquired. The first book. Preface to Library Science by Dr. S. R. Ranganathan was added on 11 May 1950.
The Library which was initiated in the corner of the office of the First Vice-Chancellor Dr. G. S. Mahajani in Kesargarh (a fort-like structure on Jawaharlal Nehru Marg, which now houses the offices of the popular Hindi newspaper Rajasthan Patrika).
