In the small villages with many low-income citizens, a public library
is crucial. They provide a place for citizens to go for entertainment and
leisure as well as a location where students are able to work on assignments
for school.
Lets convert Libraries into collaborative learning centers.
Libraries are becoming a learning commons where students are able to go to learn from a variety of sources.

Digital Literacy Mission
Approx 40% population of India is living below poverty line, illiteracy rate is more than 25-30% and digital literacy is almost no-existent among more than 90% of India’s population.
Our schools or colleges in rural areas are not providing sufficient support or learning tools. This creates a big gap in education between village and city.
Bridging the social digital divide.
The divide between those with access to new technologies and those without – is now one of India’s burning issues. Most researches in Indian Subcontinent emphasize on access to computers, connectivity, and content as the core elements of digital divide.
Lack of proper ICT infrastructure, education and literacy are the daunting issues we are facing today
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.
The Library should be with in the reach of local area, it should be accessible to all within the village.
Common people in rural areas face significant challenges when it comes to IT access, including infrastructure problems and set-up costs, Village Libraries should provide it . And should be social places where people can chat, read and keep in touch with the outside world.
