Currently the country and the world are going through an unprecedented crisis because of COVID-19 pandemic. Nations across the world have gone into lockdown or work restrictions and the people are struggling to find the ways to fight the disease and its spread. Special Children are the population which requires frequent care and considerations, but due to this current scenario it is difficult for them to get regular therapies and training direct from the therapists. So in NIPMR we are doing Teletherapy with the help of electronic resources. And concurrent documentation is done simultaneously.
Library provides information about its collection through the Online Public Access Catalogue. You can search for required books in the OPAC and find out whether a particular book is available in the library and if available, where to find it.
