Adani Electricity and Adani Foundation have collaboratively implemented a Library Distribution Program in Seventy-Four BMC Schools in P-North and M-West Wards. Under the program, 12,000 books were provided to Marathi, Hindi, and English medium BMC schools. This initiative will benefit approximately 25,000 students and help foster a love of learning, improve educational outcomes, holistic development of students and will create valuable resources for future generations of learners.
Speaking on the initiative, an Adani Electricity spokesperson said, "Our aim is to enhance students' skills in presentation, enactment, articulation, and communication through library activities. The project will facilitate the implementation of 'reading club' activities within the schools."
A spokesperson from Adani Foundation stated, " Many students in BMC schools come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Libraries help bridge this gap by providing free access to educational materials and resources. Earlier, many students had limited or no access to books outside the classroom. Lack of availability of books can significantly reduce reading frequency and overall engagement with literature. Going forward, students can significantly improve their academic performance, cognitive development, and overall well-being by fostering a love for reading and providing them with the tools they need to succeed.”
Mr. Rajesh Singh, Principal of Kurar 2 Hindi Medium School, said, "As part of the Utthan CSR project implementation, we had requested Adani Electricity and Adani Foundation to support students with a Library project to improve their vocabulary. These books will not only help students increase their vocabulary but also enhance their Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing skills. It will also provide teachers with additional teaching aids and resources, helping them create more engaging lesson plans and improving overall classroom effectiveness.”
Student from Rani Sati Marg, Malad E, Pratik Rajkumar from 6th A Standard said,” I am so excited to have these new books in our library! I can't wait to read them all and learn new things."
"This library is a wonderful addition to the school. It will provide our children with access to a wide variety of books and help them develop a love for reading." said Mrs. Varsha Khan, Parent of Iqra Khan, 6th grade student studying at Rani Sati Marg, Malad E.
