Muskaan Community Library

Our Community Library was initiated with the ideas of:
1. Encouraging children to engage in regular reading and writing activities to foster strong literacy skills, critical thinking, and imagination.
2. Promoting an understanding of constitutional values, such as respect for diversity, equality, justice, and democracy, to instill a sense of civic responsibility and appreciation for the rule of law in children.
3. Advocating for the elimination of gender discrimination through education, awareness, and the promotion of equal opportunities for all genders, with the goal of creating a more equitable and inclusive society.
4. Providing opportunities for children to explore various forms of creative expression, including art, music, drama, and innovative problem-solving, to nurture their imaginative thinking and innovative abilities.
