MALDA, 29 JULY: Mass education and panchayat and rural development departments are to jointly set up a ‘community teaching-cum-information centre’ at each gram panchayat where there is no rural library.
The state has asked all districts to implement the project soon. The Malda district administration received the government order on Monday.
This community teaching-cum-information centre will function as a rural library in each gram panchayat area. The mass education department will provide recurring financial assistance and the P&RD will assist in building infrastructure.
Basically, the centre will be built in the premises of a gram panchayat if there is an adequate space or plot of land. The Malda district administration has informed all blocks and panchayat samities of the project.
The district administrative officials may discuss the matter with the block development officers on 8 August, during a routine review meeting of development across the district. Implementation and necessary preparation for execution at the gram panchayat level will be discussed. Malda has 146 gram panchayats and very few of them have a rural library.
