mobile library initiative by the indian army and humdard ngo in kashmir valley 1

As a joint effort between the Indian Army TA Battalion and Humdard NGO located in Ramban district, this unique initiative was started to make books available to the children of rural and inaccessible areas, encouraging them to start reading. Initially, the Army procured about 300 books of varied interest like Comics, Sci-Fi, Biographies, and Novels which can attract children of all age groups.

Thereafter local residents, CISF, and the District Admin have also donated some books. This Mobile library is taken to such distant areas by the volunteers of Humdard NGO with the help of the Army so that the children can get a chance to read the books and expand their outlook. The initiative had been building up good traction during the trial phase over the last 15 days.

It was formally inaugurated by Ms. PD Nitya, IPS, SSP Ramban on 09 July 2021 at Kamal Academy Chanderkote in the presence of Sarpanch Chanderkote Ashraf Lone, Sarpanch Kunfer Dilawar Ali, and Ex-Sarpanch and Chairman Kamal Academy Dharam Chand.

The Presence of Ms. PD Nitya, a lady IPS Officer was a great source of inspiration to the students, especially the girls present on the occasion. A career guidance session was also conducted by her besides officers of CISF and the Army. The unique initiative is likely to be of immense use in the personality development of children of Ramban Dist in the coming days.
