Our History

The Sophia College Library is a part of the institution since its inception in the year 1941. The pioneering work of Sr. Francis Smith, Sr. H. Dalcy, Sr. A. Horsey, Sr. Bertha Wilcox, Sr. Phila Gomes have helped in developing the Library in the early years.

Extension of the library Reading Room was built in 1975-76.

Later in 2006, with the help of grants from M.K. Tata Trust and under the guidance of former Principal, Mrs. Nevah D’Mello and then Principal, Dr. Sr. Anila Verghese and Librarian Mrs. Prabha Suresh, the library was renovated, computerized and named Sophia College - M.K. Tata Trust Information Centre.

Renovation of the Internet Counter was carried out with the generous support of our alumni, Late Mrs. Sarla Malhotra, in July 2007.

Further, the library has also significantly benefited from the RUSA (Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan) Grant received by Sophia College. Cupboards, Kindles, Vacuum Cleaner, ID Card Printer, Scanner were purchased and Computers, Printers, Barcode Printer were replaced.
