In the words of Drucker “without management country’s resources of production remain resources and never become products”. Management is important for learners because of many reasons.

2.2. Facility
The libraries’ facility is less than desirable in terms of space, books, and computing and printing facilities. The success of this department highly depends on sufficient provision of the service of the library. Therefore, the library facility needs to fit the department demand. Other facilities like computer, information technology facilities, office facilities, printer, internet, etc., are required to implement harmonized curriculum. But the department faces shortage of such important facilities.
