How schoolchildren built a library network for students without access to books during the lockdown
In and around Nanakmatta in Uttarakhand, these children continue to run their libraries with determination. A community library session in progress at Barkidandi
“I want to study. My parents are labourers, and it is tough. I want a better job,” said Simran Kaur.

Nanakmatta is an important Sikh pilgrimage site in the district of Udham Singh Nagar.
