Massive Village Literacy and Library Movement
Friday 31 December 2004 by BGVS
The aim is to first create and spread the culture of book reading in our villages and then to initiate a massive village library movement, leading to the formation of Janvachanalayas.
To tackle a basic problem of non-availability of good low-priced books, BGVS is making available in every village, books written by eminent writers from all over the world, in a simple and easy style and in the vernacular language, at prices affordable by the villagers.
The idea is also to help the new readers, the neo-literates to improve upon the reading skill, which they have acquired through the literacy programs.
The underlying belief is that ’Literacy does not merely mean knowing the word, but knowing the world’. More than 300 books have already been published under this programs.
