Sainikpuri, Secunderabad - 500094.040-27111611, 27115878bvc@bhavansvc.ac.in"Books are the carriers of civilisation. Without books, history is silent, literature is dumb, science scrippled, thought and speculation at a stand still. Books are engines of change, windows on the world and light houses errected in the sea of time." - Barbara W. Tuchman
