Who we are
why a government school kid (class 1 to 8) is having just 6-8 books for the whole year 365 days? When the kid can explore to at least 365 books? I have established a community library running from last 6 months. We require variety of books, will help the kids to become an explorer, a dreamer. Help the future.
Our work and its impact
I am Indrakant kumar working as a Gandhi fellow to bring a social change. I did my mechanical engineering, left job and dedicated my carrier for social development. Gandhi fellowship gave me this opportunity to make a change possible.
How we will utilise these books
As a Gandhi fellow we have 5 Government schools per fellow and so 5 communities. Gandhi fellowship works on principal leadership and teacher capacity building in 5 states of India. Working on self change to social change theory. Proving teachers that each child from elite to marginalized background enrolled in government school can learn, just change the mindset and use child-centric teaching approach. Also intervene in community doing various projects. 6 months I have established a community library which is now completely owned by the community members. This library contains 200 books by now. Became a youth preparation place. we are facing the shortage of books for kids. This is a library of hope. Please hold our hand. The fund in terms of books will be placed in the existing library as the asset of "Nevri community library". With these books we will be able to open a second community library in the opposite part of the village far from the existing library. Connecting various communities and cast just because of the books.
