Dear Ms. Gayatri Sharma,
Thanks for your post. I am rather surprised to go through the second news (dull Library)
It is rather a known fact that the Universities in Delhi especially the DU & JNU are always bestowed with lavish grants/funds in comparison to other Central Universities located elsewhere. It is also a fact that in terms of Bibliometric evaluation, these two universities are way ahead in terms of intellectual output in comparison to their counterparts spread along the country. Students from various states throng to these two universities because of their remarkable dispositions (faculty, infrastructure & facilities). We were completely unaware of such shortcomings. However, it seems that the overwhelming surge of students (resulting out of inordinate craze of getting admitted) into such universities might have resulted this chaos! However, admittedly, the authority should have taken necessary steps well in advance to accommodate such upsurge of students.
Regarding the inadequacy of Hindi books however may be a debatable issue. the main reason is that quality Science books in Hindi are quite scarce. Nevertheless, being a student of Science, I personally believe that reading Science in Hindi or Bengali or any Regional Language have their obvious limitations in higher studies. Even translation of original English books will invariably mar the quality of academic merit.those want to pursue Research or Higher Education in Science MUST be ready to read them in English.
Sincerely
Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta
