About Us

"Life is like a library owned by an author. In it are a few books which he wrote himself, but most of them were written for him."

The library is an integral part of Don Bosco Institute of Management and came into existence in June, 2009.It is funded by the Julhash Ali Foundation and was set up by an initiative of Mr. Iftikar Ali, son of Lt.

Library Foundation Day

Don Bosco Institute of Management celebrates the Julhash Ali Library Foundation day every year. The events and competitions start at least a month in advance and finally culminates in a lively one day program commemorating the foundation of the library. The highlight of the day have been some very colourful and wise performances by the students of the institute. The special attraction of the whole celebration is the Julhash Ali Library Quiz Competition. The competitions held are primarily for the MBA students of DBIM and the vocational training students of DBI.
