Appeal to donate books and magazines for rural people

Chandigarh, Sep 12, 2011, Specttrum News: Upcoming non-profit voluntary organisation Prakash Foundation, working for the up-liftment of farmers in India through awareness initiatives, launched its ‘Back to Roots’ campaign today. Through this unique campaign the urban well-settled people are encouraged to re-connected to the village life, thus developing and fulfilling their urge to pay-back to the deprived rural areas of the nation. 

Explaining the same Narvijay Yadav, Senior Journalist and Founder of Prakash Foundation says, “It is almost impossible to separate people from threir roots entirely. A hidden urge to see the place where our fore fathers lived, where our parents played and where our grand-parents hailed, remains in every heart. This is an attempt to add colours to those dreams and making it come true by attaching people back to their very own culture and heritage.”

The foundation also unveiled its nation-wide rural libraries project wherein the foundation aims to set-up libraries in all nooks and corners of the country for the support of rural community. The libraries funded through charity and donations will either be maintained through village panchayats or social volunteers. At the outset of the project the Foundation shall be donating books on coming Sunday, September 18, 2011, to the hostel inmates of Mahabodhi Girls Hostel, Ramgarh, who hail from the remotest villages of Ladakh region. The books will be presented by Vijay Singal author of famous books like Sparkling Punjab, Ganga – A Flow in Divinity and Absolute Oneness. Information regarding volunteering donation of books can be conveyed at prakashfoundation.india@gmail.com or 098728-04369.

The foundation has urged the people at large to donate new or used books which can be put to the benefit of rural and agriculture community through these libraries. Discussing the same Narvijay added, “We end up with piles of books and magazines at our homes year after year, which we seldom read again nor we want to sell them for one or the other reason. Rather than selling them as rags or disposing them as trash, the best justice we can do with such literary work is to donate them.”
