A teacher from the government inter-college at Jajal in Tehri district has made a library in Bergani village to attract children who are addicted to mobile phones and computer games. Apart from the books on various subjects, the library also has study material for competitive examinations.
Laxman Singh Rawat is an English teacher at GIC Jajal in Narendranagar block and has set up a library in Bergani using his own resources so that the youngsters are attracted to the knowledge in books instead of spending their time on mobile games. The teacher’s effort has been appreciated by the entire village. Rawat says that books are true friends of human beings, but today’s youngsters are drifting away from the knowledge in books. He said that the internet cannot replace books.
The library contains books on various subjects, story books, newspapers and magazines to enable children to develop intellectually and increase their inclination towards books. This facility will be provided free of cost to the children. A good bank of more than 500 books has been created in the library.
