Private School Libraries (Free)
During the period of the COVID-19 lockdown, the library at Nanakmatta Public School was made accessible to those seeking to engage in reading and various activities. These activities included reading, recreational pursuits, film screenings, and the coordination of science fairs. The library’s resources, particularly its collection of books, were utilized by students to establish open learning centers within their respective villages. The primary objective of the library is to provide complimentary access to books for individuals unable to afford them, while also serving as a secure environment for hands-on activities, communal play, and the expression of thoughts and emotions.
