That youngsters were glued to online games on their smart phones was a great concern for Ngurang Meena, a school teacher in Nirjuli. The 30-year -old social science teacher, who ran the Ngurang Learning Institute, an adult literacy centre, said that she felt disheartened when she read student papers. “The graph of student performance is falling every year. It breaks my heart whenever I e answer sheets -- basic grammar skills are missing and there's an abnce of any cohesive (连贯性的) expression. They lack guidance and reading culture is almost zero,” Meena said. When her school and the centre she ran had to clo due to infectious dias, she planned to do something to address the problem.
Inspired by a similar proposal in Mizoram, Meena t up a bookshelf with around 80 books as well as some benches on the side of the road in Nirjuli on August 30th, 2020, where pasrs- by could spend time reading. The lections included motivational books, biographies and novels as well as comics for young children. “I have to plea the minors with sweets to sit and read, but that is okay,” she laughed.

Now, generous contributions of books come in from the public and she is even receiving requests to t up such libraries in other parts of the state, including one in the capital, Itana-gar. Since the tiny libraries are far from the main town, she also lends books out to tho who want to read at home.
“I never thought that this would become such a big inspiration,” Meena said. “Since childhood, we have been told that books are our best friends. The next generation of kids is focud on games and other things. I don't want them to head on the wrong track,” she
added.
