In Perambur, the CMDA also plans to create an open-area study centre, along with a kids' play area, to help mothers, new parents, and researchers who may need to keep their kids occupied while they study. The Perambur centre will also have a landscaped area.
The centre at Aminjikarai will have a digital library where six people can sit at once and a lending section for people to borrow books.
CMDA minister P K Sekarbabu said the one in Kolathur became a big hit with at least 200 students using it at any point of the day.
"Six people who used the facility aced the TNPSC exam. The new ones will help expand the initiative," he said. The centres are busy throughout the day. "From college students to PhD scholars, everyone is coming," he said, adding that they plan to expand the number of computers in the digital library section.
"If the centres can also provide free premium access to news portals and study websites, it would further help researchers," said K Sanjana, 39, who uses the centre in Kolathur. Officials said they will look at adding premium subscriptions.
