Starting Village Library with motto of Establishing Knowledge Centre for Rural Youth and Farmers

Motto behind our Library Concept is to Unite the Farmer Community through Knowledge sharing and to build Sustainable Cultivation Knowledge bank.Also want to bring the Digital Technology to the door steps of our own villages.

India Witnessed many wonders done by Farmer community in different parts of the nation and through  their Wisdom they are showing extraordinary Yield from their crops. We wanna make that Knowledge/Technology available to the farmers and to Encourage/Educate them to experiment in their Own Farms.

As an Initial Step, we are going to start a Small Library ( Sponsored by one of our friend SIRI on his Father Name) in Cherukumpalem Village (Atchempet(Md.),Guntur(district) ,AP ). and will inaugurate it on on the eve of CHildrens day i.e on Nov14th. Will start with News Papers, few Journals related to Education sector,Farming Sector and Rural empowerment magazines and meanwhile will start Collecting/Procuring Books on Literature, Culture, Green Revolution, Farming and Technology. 

We wanna transform this into a Mini Knowledge Hub providing services related to E-governance, Online Marketing facilities, employement resources/information to the rural Youth and Audio/Visual material on new methods in cultivation. We got Computers from Infosys and we can make use some of them to provide basic training to the Women Self Help groups during summer vacation. We all know that It's a Long term Project and wanna build it step by step by co-ordinating with Like minded groups, Govt officials and our Sneha Hasthaalu contributors.

*******  Motto Behind this Concept   ********

   రైతే రాజు..రైతుని మించిన శాస్త్రవేత్త, పొలాన్ని మించిన లాబొరేటరీ లేదు ... పల్లెటూర్లు ప్రగతికి పట్టుకొమ్మలు.. గ్రామ స్వరాజ్యం... స్వాతంత్ర పోరాటంలో గ్రంధాలయ ఉద్యమం....పల్లె ముంగిట ప్రభుత్వం.. ప్రజల వద్దకు పాలన....

ఇలాంటి పదాలు విన్నప్పుడు మన ఊరులో గ్రంధాలయం ఉందా??.. మన ఊరులో అధిక దిగుబడి సాదించే రైతుల విజయ గాధలు/వ్యవసాయ పద్దతులు కనీసం పక్క రైతుకన్నా తెలుస్తున్నయా??...మన చదువులు, ఉద్యోగాల ద్వారా నేర్చుకుంటున్న/సంపాదించుకుంటున్న దాన్లో కొంతన్నా తరిగి మనం మన పల్లెకి తీసుకుపోతున్నామా...... 

ఇలాంటి ఆలోచన మనలో నూటికి 90% మందికి పూటకో,నెలకో,సంవత్సరానికో ఎప్పుడో ఒకప్పుడు అనిపిస్తూనే వుంటుంది . ఇలాంటి ఆలోచనలని ఆచరణలో పెట్టాలన్న సంకల్పం నుండి పుట్టినదే ఈ గ్రందాలయం . దీనికి మీ  అందరి సలహాలు ,తోడ్పాటు  అందించవలసినది గా మనవి .
