It is expected to benefit over 5,000 citizens over time and will house books across subjects including Science, Mathematics, Arts & Literature, Competitive Exams, Skill Development, and Fiction/Non-Fiction. The facility is also integrated with the National Digital Library of India (NDLI), an initiative of the Ministry of Education, Government of India, developed by the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur.

The library is part of Mahindra World City (Jaipur)’s ongoing CSR initiatives focused on education, health, environment, and skill-building. Notable initiatives include Hunnar, which has empowered 3,294 youth through 13 vocational courses since FY 2009–10, promoting livelihoods, especially among women, through training in beauty and wellness, tailoring, and other employable skills. MWC Jaipur has also partnered with Tarun Bharat Sangh (TBS) for a Water Conservation and Retention project to promote sustainable water management in nearby villages. The initiative includes rainwater harvesting, construction of 16 farm ponds and 11 water tanks across 10 villages, conserving over 44 crore litres of water annually. This conserved rainwater is used to irrigate arid land and initiate agriculture on fallow land where cultivation of crops has been historically impossible, thereby enhancing agricultural productivity and supporting environmental conservation. Other initiatives include Green Guardians, which promotes energy efficiency through LED installations in over 7,000 rural homes, and Mahindra Hariyali, which supports sustainability through the plantation of nearly 55,000 trees in government-approved forest and rural areas.
