Open Library in Assam! Women's group in Jorhat sets up open library to attract youth towards reading books

In today's modern and digital age, mobile phones and computers have become an essential part of people's life. However, it has gradually mechanized people's way of life. Nowadays, people prefer the Internet and Google to learn any small subject rather than books. As a result, students like to search for any subject available in books on the Internet.

 

 

 

 

 

There is a rising disinterest in books among the students than ever before. ANI quotes Dipila Poddar, who is part of the group, saying that their main aim for the unique initiative was to reduce the gap between the students and the library. The school Authority and locals have appreciated the unique initiative taken by the women's group.

 

"Nowadays students prefer to use the Internet, Google to find out any solution. And the students have also gone far away from the environment. So we are trying to connect our children with the environment by setting up this open library under trees or garden library," Dipila Poddar said.
