      Dear Dr. Archana Pawar,

      If it is a new school, and your are going for fresh affiliation with CBSE, then you need to procure minimum of 1500 books OR Number of students x 5, whichever is higher. For this you may connect to any of the book vendor near by your city.

      Dear Priti

      Usually the accession number is given to reference books, fiction and non fiction books apart from encylopedia’s kept in the library.
      Yes, you are right, these guide, sample papers, practice papers are also important, for them you may maintain a separate register with a different series.
