What Do we Plan to Do?
In order to spread education among poor children, we at Roshni are planning to set up Jan Pustakalay (meaning public libraries). These will be set up in rural areas and city slums so that poor children can have access to this important facility. Books for students of different classes and on a variety of subjects will be stocked in these libraries to cater to the tastes of children and to encourage them to read. We also envisage installing computers at each library. We also plan to launch Jan Saksharata – a mass adult literacy initiative. This is a special mission to promote literacy among illiterate adults, through the medium of Hindi language, by using computers. A ninety day 1 hour course will be enough to make an adult - male or female - functionally literate.
