About Pitara Library
Pitara Library is a collection of practical guides for everyday life in India. We gather available official information in one place and explain it in simple language, so that you can understand a scheme, a course or your rights, and then check the official source yourself.

Pitara compiles every guide mainly from official, publicly available sources. The guides are published under the name Pitara and have no individual author. Pitara Library is operated by the business named on our Contact us page.

What Pitara is not
Pitara is not a government body, and it is not endorsed by the government. Our guides are general information. They are not legal, financial, medical, career or government advice for your case, and they do not guarantee any approval, admission, payment or outcome. Check the official sources, and confirm anything unclear at your nearest information centre. For legal questions, consult your lawyer.
