The Vivekanand Central Library of Central University of Jharkhand, Ranchi is the heart of the University academic system to provide direct academic and research supports to all the departments. It was setup in the very beginning with the establishment of the university in the year 2009.

The whole library operations run on an Open-source Integrated Library Management software-KOHA. Over the years, the library has brought several databases of books, journals, theses/dissertations, conference proceedings, etc. in its collection to fulfil the academic need of its users.
