Scope And Objectives

Expected Impact Of Project

Educated manpower is one of the most crucial needs of any country. In developing countries where there is frequently a shortage of skilled manpower is more crucial. Due to the fact that the majority of its population, is living in rural areas, the main occupation of the rural people is agriculture, and the average income of these people is still very low. The experts have pinpointed that illiteracy is one of primary causes of these problems especially in rural and low economic communities.

In order to increase the living standards of the rural dwellers, the government has as its goals, the promotion of education, and the eradication of illiteracy. Information is considered a means to solve the mentioned problems. To fulfill the goals, various organizations and agencies are responsible for carrying out the government policy. Among these, the Non-formal Education takes a leading role through reading culture. There are certain areas or places, where it is hard to find a library and does not have a trace of reading culture in the rural areas.

To set the reading rooms & libraries in each village is time consuming as well as expensive. Hence, the term “Mobile Library” may be considered as all travelling or movable library

Activities in any formats such as large enclosed buses or vans or large motor vehicles equipped with shelves and a staff enclosure to visit rural districts or remote areas where there is no other library service at specific times on a certain day or days of the week. The libraries may choose their books from the shelves to extend to villages and isolates farms and houses.

As we have already known that the main purpose of the Mobile Library is to promote formal schooling system and provide non-formal and informal education. This includes mobile Van libraries that play a major role to create and develop learning skills to children, youths and public. They provide numerous types of learning materials such as printed, artificial and exhibition materials, textbooks, non-formal education learning packages and electronic materials to community people particularly to those living in less developed communities in Solapur district. Moreover, the mobile Van libraries will assist people to keep pace with today’s necessarily fundamental knowledge. This includes family education, health, democracy, environmental education, daily life basic laws and entertainment news. Several types of learning activities are organized in the mobile Van/bus libraries as well.
