One Library Per Village

Around the world, in developed as well as developing countries, libraries play an important role in the dissemination of knowledge. The availability of information resources can often mean the difference between poverty and prosperity, particularly in underdeveloped communities.

India, a country where 70% of its population lives in more than 6, 00,000 villages and only 1% of them are fully equipped with libraries. Problem is lack of awareness and availability of educational resources for the rural poor.

“When a library is open, no matter its size or shape, democracy is open, too.”

Books are the great source of knowledge. Knowledge empowers people but lack to access to books for the poor is the biggest blockade. 2tion e-Library makes sure that books and required knowledge must reaches the needy so that they can avail their rights and have better life standard.

Public libraries play a vital rolein community development

A free public library is a revolutionary notion, and when people don’t have free access to books, then communities are like radios without batteries. You cut people off from essential sources of information — mythical, practical, linguistic, political — and you break them.
