The Kunjru Library has a history of its own. Dr. Mohan Singh Mehta founded Seva Mandir. Before this, he was working as an Assistant Professor in Economics at Agra College. At that time, he received a letter from Pandit Hriday Nath Kunjru. This letter evoked such determination in Dr. Mehta, that he gave up his job at the Agra College and laid the foundations of Seva Mandir. In the letter, Pt. Kunjru wrote ‘there will be many more people in the society to become Professors, but today the society needs more volunteers for its own cause, for the people who need our help and support. ’ Dr. Mehta regarded Pt. Kunjru in high esteem. He changed his ideas and in 1969, laid the foundation of Seva Mandir. At that time, he also dreamt of a good library for Seva Mandir staff, to guide and enhance the process of continuous learning. Therefore On October 7 1973, the library was inaugurated and named after Pt. Hriday Nath Kunjru. Along with the then Vice-President of India, Shri G.S.Pathak, a girl from Harijan Area, who was running Seva Mandir’s NFE center in Amba Mata, also inaugurated the Library.
