Digital LibraryServices & E-Learning Centre

  At DYPDPU, we strongly encourage the use of digital resources to enhance learning and reduce paper usage. All members of the university community are urged to prioritize e-resources such as e-books, online journals, and digital documents over printed materials whenever possible. Official communications should preferably be conducted via email or messaging platforms to minimize paper consumption. Additionally, active utilization of Learning Management Systems (LMS) and other e-learning platforms is promoted to support flexible, efficient, and technology-driven education.
