It subscribes to 14 daily and 35 weekly, several fortnightly and monthly magazines. New books are added year after year to the 60,000 or more collection of books.

His contribution to social causes cannot be put in words. He was a rationalist and was always concerned about rooting out superstitions and ills of the society.

Therapies and radiations sapped his strength and energy, but his undaunting and undismayed courage made him carry on. His hearing problem was something he had to live with. His forceful presence at every function infused strength and inspiration to one and all.
His philosophy of education enthuses his team of educators and teachers to take the students beyond the classroom. Dr. R.S.Bhatia said, "Doing is the heart and core of education". He summed it up with the oft-quoted line:
I hear, I forget;
I see, I learn;
I do, I understand.
Even at the age of 85, he said, he still had miles to go and promises to keep.
