Thanks a lot sir,  Some days ago you have provide one list which was just near of 16 so I have gone with 16 state.
Thanks Badan for updating my knowledge about Arunachal Pradesh PL Act. But I think Bihar Public Library act was passed in 2008.

Arunachal Pradesh Public Libraries Act. 2009 is right for satisfaction you may see in site of RAJA RAMMOHUN ROY FOUNDATION.

You can answer 16 though correct answer is 18 which is not in option.
There are in India 19 public library Acts.

19 States have implemented Library  Legislation.They are  Tamil Nadu(1947).Andhra Pradesh (1960), karnataka (1965),Maharashtra (1967),west Bengal ( 1979)Manipur(1988),Kerala(1989), Haryana(1989) Mizoram(1993), Goa((1993)Gujarath (2000) Orissa(2000),Uttar Pradesh(2005),Uttar Khand(2005),Rajasthan(2006),Pondicherry(2008)

Bihar(2008),chattisgarh(2008)And Arunacha Pradesh(2009)



1) Tamil Nadu ? 1948 
2) Andhra Pradesh - 1960 
3) Karnataka - 1965
4) Maharashtra - 1967
5) West Bengal - 1979
6) Manipur - 1988

7) Kerala - 1989
8) Haryana - 1989

9) Mizoram - 1993
10)Goa - 1993
11)Gujarat - 2000

15)Uttar Pradesh - 2006

Note: I got news from authentic sources that
Pondicherry did not pass the Public Library Act and is still in pipeline.

With regard to Orissa, the date is often given as
2001, but the Act is tabled in Assembly in 2001 but approved by Governor on
March 11, 2002. Hence the Act came into force from 2002.

hello sir u know U.P and U.K. are not having library legislation. its only on websites.
