NBHM operates a scheme to extend financial support to the libraries of various Universities and Institutions. In India, Mathematics departments at Universities and institutions at postgraduate level may apply for financial support for their libraries; the form is provided in the forms section of this website.

The following libraries have been identified by NBHM as "Regional Libraries":

1. Panjab University, Chandigarh
2. Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata
3. Rani Durgawati University, Jabalpur
4. University of Hyderabad, Hyderabad
5. Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore
6. Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur
7. Statistical Institute, Delhi Centre
8. Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati
9. Sardar Patel University, Anand
10. Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai
11. Harish Chandra Research Institute, Allahabad
12. Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai

These Regional Libraries are expected to cater to the needs of the region in which they are located and are open to mathematicians of the region for consultation and inter-university borrowing. Photocopying facilities are available at these libraries at nominal costs. The regional libraries, (1-9) are given an annual library grant of Rs 21,00,000/- (Rs. Twenty one lakhs only) by NBHM.

In addition to the regional libraries, mathematics departments of several universities receive grants of varying amounts from NBHM. The departments desirous of receiving grants may apply to NBHM on the prescribed form obtainable from the office of NBHM. (Annexure VIII). NBHM has constituted five Regional Committees to represent different regions and recommend grants to libraries from their respective regions. The regions and their jurisdiction are listed below:

1. Southern Region: Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Pondicherry and Tamil Nadu
2. Western Region: Chhatisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Goa and Gujarat
3. Northern Region: Delhi, Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir, Panjab and Rajasthan
4. North Central Region: Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttaranchal and Uttar Pradesh
5. Eastern Region: Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Orissa, Tripura and West Bengal

The libraries receiving grants from NBHM are expected to extend their facilities to research workers of the neighbouring universities. The level of the grants is reviewed periodically.
