HDFC Library - Ashoka University is home to various facilities aimed at assisting its academic community in achieving the best possible results through thoughtfully curated services.

The library is a place that values education in all forms. Our library supports hybrid learning by equally emphasising on both print and digital material, thanks to its cutting-edge infrastructure. It is a private location for research, study, and partnership. The library now has 99,400 print volumes, many of which are unique collections that are waiting to be discovered. A variety of e-books, e-journals, e-archives, and other helpful digital resources are available remotely through the library and are accessible from anywhere on any device.

The library has agreements with external organisations, publishers, and content aggregators in order to provide students, researchers, and faculty members with the specialised research information they need. It has introduced modern titles in a few Indian languages for leisure reading in consideration of the diversity of our students. The library minimises the use of paper in everyday operations because it complies with copyright regulations and holds a larger commitment to environmental preservation. Please take notice that the library has been relocated in a new manner by providing larger facilities in order to accommodate more users, resources, events, and private places for rigorous study.
