    The Digital Library was inaugurated on 25th April 2025 by Shri G. Lakshman IPS (IGP Training) in the presence of Shri Ramesh Kumar P.N. IPS (Principal, PTC), Shri Bejoy IPS (SP, Crime Branch), Shri A. Abdul Vahab (Vice Principal, PTC), dignitaries from SBI, and all PTC staff.
    The digitalization of the PTC Library is being carried out using the software KOHA (an open-source Integrated Library System [ILS] used by libraries worldwide to manage their collections and services). Once the cataloging process is complete, Koha will be made public, enabling every reader to access the PTC Library database from their fingertips. This software will also allow readers to renew, reserve, and check the availability of books without visiting the library.
