Shiksha - 8 lakh books in 7 days, to setup 108 Libraries
A group of 25,000 Rotaractors and youth in the city have come up with an initiative to collect eight lakh books within seven days. The books collected will be used to set up libraries in 108 corporation schools in & around Chennai.
Members of Rotaract clubs of Rotary International District 3230, aged between 18 and 30, in Chennai who have been working in corporation and government schools found that most students do not have a habit of reading.
The club members realized that many corporation schools did not have a full-fledged library. The main point of this initiative is to create an opportunity for happy reading in schools, which will hopefully also improve language, writing skills, general knowledge and imagination.
They started the book collection drive at Spencer Plaza on September 29th (Monday) and will continue it till October 7th. Members from 116 Rotaract clubs in the city are participating. We are going to colleges and schools, addressing them during their assembly regarding this Book Collection drive.
Members are also distributing pamphlets in public places, inviting people to donate books, and going to donors' residences to collect them. The books collected from across the city are stored in the Phase III Atrium of Spencer Plaza and will be utilized to set up libraries on corporation schools across the city. We also request the public to donate books and support this noble cause, contact +91 9884698143 to be a part of the change.
