Rotary library in 100 schools in Ahmednagar

RC Ahmednagar Midtown, RID 3132, under its Project Vidya, set up libraries in 100 zilla parishad schools across Ahmednagar. The municipal corporation education department helped the club identify the schools to benefit from this project. The club provided cupboards, stocked them with a variety of books in these schools and urged the staff to encourage the students to utilise the facility everyday at least for an hour. “This will certainly inculcate reading habit in them, which will enhance their knowledge and make them fluent in the language. At least 10,000 students will benefit from this initiative,” said club president Madhura Zaware. The club’s Literacy Committee director Prasad Ubale helped in choosing the books for the libraries, which comprised a mix of simple storybooks and informative books.

Over 100 pouches of seeds were also given to the schools to encourage the children and the school staff to plant them on the school campuses. The total project cost was ₹6 lakh.
