Read the following passage and answer the following questions:

The existence of academic libraries during the medieval period of Indian history is not known, though the Muslim rulers did patronize libraries in their own places. A lone exception, however, was a library attached to a college at Bidar, having a collection of 3,000 books on different subjects. Aurangzeb got this library transferred to Delhi to merge it with his palace library. College libraries are the fore-runners of a modern university library. Warren Hastings, Governor-General (1774-85), founded a Madrasa at Calcutta in 1781. Jonathan Duncan in 1792 stressed the need to collect books of the ancient valuable general learning and tradition. Lord Minto, Governor- General (1807-13), in his minutes of the 6 March 1811 wrote, Library be attached to each of the colleges under the charge of a learned native with a small establishment of servants for the care of manuscripts. Perhaps, this is the first statement on record concerning libraries in the academic set-up in India. Lord Auckland, Governor- General of Indian (1836-40), further outlined the library policy in his minutes of the 24 November 1839; make the greatest use of the college libraries which are now attached to many of our institutions. Library collections of the colleges thus started growing and by 1882 some of them crossed a thousand marks.
