By gift-wrapping the quest for knowledge, joy of reading and inspiration, you are paving the way to a brighter future.

Because of your enthusiastic support we continue to provide and maintain a creative learning forum, a second-to-none book collection, and unique library services such as Storytelling in which mothers are involved. These are the home without books.

Your financial support is invaluable; every donated dollar has a huge impact on a child's life.

Your generous support means we can update learning resources and expand our reach to more villages.

We want to upgrade our prototype of a one-room village children’s library and replicate in many more villages. Amravati District has 1,200 villages.

We have a plan to establish at least one ideal library with ample space for:

• An attractive display of books and reference material
• Book clubs, Science Fun, storytelling, and computer literacy programs
• Easy accessibility to online educational material

By building learning capabilities we are paving the way to brighter future. Children love participating in various competitions, quizzes, as well as reading/writing workshops and Fun with Science. Our readers say that Nachiket introduces to them the whole wide world outside their village. Children’s superb artwork shows their creative and imaginative power.

"Now our readers are teachers, engineers, pharmacists, policemen, and even woman- sarpanch."

Seema, who is now completing Engineering Degree in Nagpur, says —

“I consider myself lucky. Every child in every village, town, and city ought to have access to a library like this.”

Priti, now studying for B. Pharm., appreciates the alternative independent learning environment provided by Nachiket in her own village that is still not available to many children from nearby villages.

Yogesh is thankful that he got to explore a way beyond just the textbook world of his school.

Children are extensively using libraries for their school projects on subjects such as the effect of pollutants on the local farms, and space travel based on a book at Nachiket that gives detailed accounts of real travels to the moon with actual photos.

Children we serve totally depend on Nachiket for their educational and reading needs. They are falling behind at alarming rates.

The staff is collaborating with other organizations with similar aims, and Primary School teachers. This way we are able to provide library services to small groups of children across the village and at the library.

Online learning has become an urgent necessity. We have purchased One Laptop, Smart Phone, and four Tablets for a village of Satnoor.  We do have a plan to equip at least five other libraries.
