Library Chain at Panchayat Level could be Key Information Center for Villagers

We are the World 2nd largest populated Country with 1.22 billions after China, out of this 73% are still living in Village Area, in which 56% are engaged in Agriculture Activity. Country literacy reach around 75%  but in Rural part its still around 55%,  more important is Unemployment in Educated Youth in Rural part is more then average country rate because of lacking Information and Guidance. From the time of our Freedom Struggle Gandhi Ji  was more focus about Village Swaraj, I salute him about his Vision, he was well aware about the problem we are facing after 65 yrs of our Independence, Unfortunate to say Our leader  are still not understand Vision of Bapu  perfectly, they more focused about to Grab the seats in Parliament and Legislative body. I obliged to Lt. Sri Rajeev Gandhi ji, he understand the Vision - Father of Nation and put sheer effort for Local Self Government which was already define in Our Constitution Article 40 . In 1993 finally action has been taken to give tribute to Gandhi Ji therefore 73rd Amendment Act came in to realization through which 11th Schedule for Panchaytiraj include in Constitution - Which explain about 29 major Function of Pachayat in detail. Library establishment is one of the major function mention there but no one focus about.

Surprise is that Country Policy Maker, Politician, Social Activist and Village Panchayat, no one realize the importance of  Library at Panchayat, which could be major Information and Guidance Center for Rural Youth and Villagers. More important, it will help to develop reading hobbit and change the thought process of villagers, definition of Literacy also be change, to provoked rational thought in Rural Youth. From here Govt. can deliver all information related New Change in Laws and Programs in terms Rural Development and People Empowerment. Lawyers, Educationist, Psychologist should associate here to give solution in daily life to villagers. Library can be center for Vocational Courses for Youth to organize Sports Activity and many more things.......  Even it will help to train member of Gram Sabha.

At present 2.4 lac's Gram Panchayat are acting cover 6.3 lac village's therefore By Establishing Library Govt. can generate approx 10 lac's Employment at Village level cause to manage Library there are 5 key people require.

To develop World Class Library at Panchayat level, Ministry of Panchayatiraj Rural Development, Sports & Youth Welfare and Information Technology can give major fund contribution, for better management n establishment, also we can invite Corporate NGO's .

Library could also establish through the help of NGO and Self help Group by the help of Volunteer's like Retired Govt. Teachers and Officials. To Run Library we could acquire place at Pachayat Bhawan of village or Primary Schools with the coordination of Gram Sabha.
