Hyderabad has added a significant milestone to its literary and educational landscape with the recent inauguration of a world-class public library in Kondapur. The new facility, located on the 8th floor of Pranava Business Park, spans an impressive 15,660 sq. ft. and represents a major step toward promoting inclusive learning and community development in the city.
The Kondapur Public Library, opened by Coforge Limited as part of its corporate social responsibility initiatives, houses a diverse collection of over 15,000 books covering genres from fiction, children’s literature, self-help, spirituality, history to modern topics like artificial intelligence and environment. State-of-the-art features include floor-to-ceiling glass walls offering panoramic city views, fully air-conditioned spaces, accessibility-friendly design, and vibrant zones dedicated to children and group discussions.
Open free to the public year-round from 9 AM to 8 PM, the library is designed to be a sanctuary of knowledge and creativity for readers of all ages. The facility also incorporates digital cataloging systems, enhancing accessibility to its extensive resources.
Alongside this remarkable development in Kondapur, the historic State Central Library in Afzalgunj is recognized as an iconic institution but awaits rejuvenation. With plans underway to restore and revitalize this cherished landmark, the State Central Library continues to symbolize Hyderabad’s rich cultural heritage and intellectual tradition.
The launch of the Kondapur library was welcomed by government officials and local communities alike, emphasizing the crucial role of libraries as long-term social infrastructure that transcends technological shifts. Coforge’s CEO Sudhir Singh highlighted the library’s mission to create opportunities for individuals to grow, learn, and thrive.
