PRIDE OF PATNA
Close to the banks of the Ganges, in Patna, stands the Khuda Bakhsh Oriental Public
Library a unique repository of about 21000 Oriental manuscripts and 2.5 lakh printed
books. Though founded earlier, it was opened for public in October, 1891 by the illustrious
son of Bihar Khan Bahadur Khuda Bakhsh with 4,000 manuscripts, of which he inherited
1,400 from his father Maulvi Mohammed Bakhsh.
Khuda Bakhsh Khan donated his entire personal collection to the people of Patna by a
deed of trust. Acknowledging the immense historical and intellectual value of its rich and
valued collection, the Govt. of India declared the Library an Institution of National
Importance by an act of Parliament in 1969. The Library is now fully funded by the Ministry
of Culture (Govt. of India).
This autonomous institution is being governed by a Board with the Governor of
Bihar as its ex-officio Chairman and the responsibility of day-to-day management of
Library affairs is entrusted to Director, Khuda Bakhsh Library. See more all information
