Mysuru: Giving a push for digitalisation, the Backward Class Welfare Department has started digital library initiative at post-matric boys and girls hostels run by it.

ZP Deputy Secretary Shivaramegowda launched the digital library service, which is taken up in association with Vidwath Innovative Solutions (P) Ltd., at Veene Seshanna Bhavan, Kuvempunagar, recently.

Speaking on the occasion, Shivaramegowda said that the Digital Library will largely help students who are appearing for various competitive exams, especially civil services.
