school libraries provision in India

[NIDHI RAWAT]

dear all, please tell me is it compulsory for Indian Schools (at least according to law) to have a school library? And is there any information available on how many such libraries exist in India, or which percentage of schools has a library, etc.?

It is compulsory to have a library in Schools as per CBSE rules, Even  state gvt schools must run a school Library.   Regarding the survey on number of schools which have libraries, may be this link will be useful i hope
