SCHOOL LIBRARY PROGRAMME

Under this programme, EFRAH is for establishing the libraries in MCD Schools across Delhi for the benefit of the underprivileged school children and community with the support of Room to Read India trust and Deptt. of Education, Municipal Corporation of Delhi. In a very beginning of the programme MCD schools did not have any kind of library though they have some books kept under supervision of teachers’ which were safely used by the children as there was no initiative given to the children. At this point we started the library these school and provide facilitators and were given training & getting feedback from them put them in the proper groove in the path to make use of library by the children. After completion of the two years the scenario will change now and Library handover to school authority.
