How a school is being built during the pandemic with the library as its fulcrum
A veterinary surgeon, an educator, and an entrepreneur have come together to set up the first English-medium school in Enayetpur, West Bengal. Books sent from across the country for the library at Noor Jahan Memorial School.
In 2020, Vikram D’Souza – an entrepreneur involved in digital publishing, who develops virtual and physical museums – got an opportunity to help develop a library for the first-ever English-medium school in the village of Enayetpur in West Bengal’s Malda district.
It began a year earlier, in 2019, when MM Rahman – a trained veterinary surgeon who now works in New Delhi for the government – and his brother decided to establish an English-medium school in Enayetpur, his hometown, in memory of their mother who died in 2016 after a prolonged battle with cancer.
