The PAF Library and Resource Centre (PAF-LRC) was set up in 1993 to facilitate systematic storage and dissemination of information related to fashion, textile and the apparel industry. Over the years, the centre has grown from strength to strength, and is today considered one of the leading content providers of fashion related information, and is now spread across three campuses in India at New Delhi, Jaipur and Chennai.
The Library has a comprehensive collection of print and non-print material on fashion related disciplines. It also has an impressive audio visual collection.
The Resource Centre comprises an extensive collection of materials relating to study of textiles, ranging from fibers, yarns, textiles to clothing and accessories. The centre acts as a catalyst and supports the faculty, students and the textile industry by providing valuable information and directory services.
