Paul G” Documentation Centre, a fitting remembrance to this tall personality who spent 26 long years at the institute and disseminated knowledge through documentation dispatches. The quality Information is the backbone and an essential aspect of any resources centre.

The databank at the centre is continuously updated with documents that include Newsletters, Reports – Government, NGO, Human rights, World Organization etc, Video cassettes, un- publish documents, data bank and research papers etc.

The Human Rights Documentation was initiated in 1999 as part of the department of documentation and library. The Human Rights Documentation compiles information on 26 major topics from various newspapers and electronic media. The compiled information and news paper clippings are readily available with the department. In addition to its primary role of collecting, and preserving information on major topics of social, economic and political importance, it also actively disseminates the current information to human rights activists, social action groups and individuals through electronic newsletter and email services twice in a week.

The Human Rights news Bulletin is an initiative of the centre to provide data and information on various human rights violations in India. The collected documents and information are updated and uploaded in the website regularly and people from all over the world are making use of this documented information. The data/information on various topics is also made available through e-mail on request.
