Library

How Delhi-based author Mridula Koshy and her partner, Michael Creighton's efforts to reconnect with the city they once called home, led to the birth of the Deepalaya Community Library, that is now helping hundreds of children become readers and, more importantly, thinkers.

At a time when the concept of reading for fun is on the decline, this Odisha couple has stepped in to make a difference. Satabdi Mishra and Akshaya Rautaray are driving across the length and breadth of India to promote the reading habit.

Ever since the advent of the internet and e-books, printed books are of no value anywhere now. So thought this US citizen who had books to give away. An ACP in Tirupur, India, disagreed. The books crossed the ocean and found a home in his police station.

A unique library project in the Pench tiger reserve is hoping to help the cause of nature and wildlife conservation by raising the literacy and awareness levels of the children in the community.
