In recent years importance has been given by the Govt. of India to the study and development of Indian languages. As a result, there has been a constant flow of new items on language issues. Too keep abreast of the Govt. plans, its policies regarding language, education, folklore and other related fields, it has become necessary for the library to collect and preserve the new clippings in the areas such as language use in education, administration and mass media, linguistics minorities, information on scripts, tribes and tribal languages, education, language planning, language and political issues and folklore. The library has been collecting such clippings since 1975 from newspapers 'Deccan Herald', 'Hindustan Times', 'Indian Express', 'The Hindu', 'The Times of India' and 'Prajavani (Kannada). The clipping archives has about 12,000 news items at present.
