Meet the students from rural MP who collected 10,000 books in a month to start a unique library
A group of students returned to Shivpuri after recognising how limited access to books, legal information and government schemes affected local communities. They approached the district administration and municipal authorities for support, then collected 10,000 books in a month.
Their work led to a library-cum-legal-aid centre that combined access to reading with practical support around rights and public services. The initiative formed part of the early development of Zenith, then known as Zenith–Feel the Change.
