At home with books: A library for underprivileged kids
Excerpts from The THT:
The iconic India Gate will soon be witness to a quieter revolution. The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) will soon open the first free municipal library called ‘At home with books’ at Children’s Park. The library will cater to children between six and 14 years, who do not have access to books.
One of the primary objectives is to dissuade underprivileged children from begging by giving them an alternative space to spend their day. “The idea is to promote the culture of reading among children. Even if some do not read books, we have installed computers and a television in the hall so that they can watch informative videos,” said Vidushi Chaturvedi, director (Education), NDMC.
Thank you NDMC's education department for recognizing libraries as essential center of learning for the underprivileged children
