School library goes digital
The Hindu
Over 600 books and magazines digitised
In the digital age, reading has increasingly been turned screen-based. Touted as the first-of-its-kind in the district, the Government Higher Secondary School, Ramapuram, has transformed its library into a digital one by digitising around 600 books and magazines, among other reading materials.
The digital library has been set up at a cost of ₹12.33 lakh, allocated from the MLA fund of U. Prathibha.
As speculation over the continuation of Minister for Scheduled Tribes Welfare B. Nagendra in the Cabinet persisted, with the demand for his resignation raised by the BJP in connection with the ₹94 crore scam at the Maharshi Valmiki Scheduled Tribes Development Corporation, his Cabinet colleagues came to his defence on Thursday.
