Teacher’s bike library spreads reading habit in villages

He engages children of 36 villages with his collection of books on various topics

In the era of smart phones, kids have almost forgotten reading habit. For them reading means only class books. However, a private college lecturer who observed the adverse impact of the mobile phones started a mobile library to benefit the students of the villages that don’t have libraries. The lecturer, Reddi Ramana, carries books on his bike and stays in a village for nearly three hours. He has modified the bike design to carry books visibly and attract kids easily. The students who gather at panchayat buildings and temples will be distributed books of their choice. They can read and get clarifications from him if they have any doubts. He believes reading of story books, comic books, epics such as the Ramayana, the Mahabharata and biographies of great personalities such as Mahatma Gandhi, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Subhash Chandra Bose will ensure the overall development of children and makes them good citizens in future.
