The Library hosts a weekly book rendition, titled, ‘Mane Gamtu Pustak’. This rendition was held post the Diwali vacation, focused on honouring Shri Ratan Tata and the illustrious and inspiring Tata family, known for its roots in the Navsari, also known as the ‘sanskari nagari’ or the Parsi ‘Dharam-ni-tekdi’.

The event celebrated recent memories from the press for late Padmashri Ratan Tata, as well as numerous books on the TATA family and businesses. This was followed by an interactive session, with Sayaji Vaibhav Library concluding the lovely event with a tribute to the national hero with a two-minute maun shraddhanjali.
