RURAL LIBRARY:A rural library was enacted in the village of the Brahmagiri Block to support the growing interest of the people on education and the skill life operation. The children and people have no knowledge on the vast scope of education which includes their learning for the daily life pattern for the promotion of the ideas about the attitudes and behavior. The materials were adopted from different resource agencies to make a public debut for the educational upliftment on the general consensus. The library was supported through awareness programme and public meeting with the community leaders, PRI members, stakeholders and the intellectuals for unveiling its ongoing successive steps.
