IMPERIAL LIBRARY (CHANGE OF NAME) ACT, 1948
51 of 1948
8th September, 1948

STATEMENTS OF OBJECTS AND REASONS "In view of the constitutional changes in the country it is not appropriate that the word "Imperial" is associated with national institutions in India. It has, therefore, been decided to change the name of Imperial Library, Calcutta. The Bill seeks to ensure that the relevant references to the Imperial Library in Act 1 of 1902are construed as references to the National Library." - Gaz. of Ind., 1948, Pt. V, page 613.
