A CORRESPONDENT

ITANAGAR: The Director of Secondary Education, Marken Kadu inaugurated a 'Student's Library' established by the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) - 138 Battalion under 'Civic Action Plan' (CAP) at Senki-View near here on February 15. The library has sufficient numbers of books for the student's community.

Speaking on the occasion, Marken Kadu said that it is a matter of great concern that the students community nowadays has been avoiding the habit of reading books and is wasting their precious time in other activities which are ineffective.

"There was a time when we were only dependent on the libraries to read; and for that purpose, we had to travel several kilometers to other cities and towns. The students of today's generation are very fortunate to have such a library at the closest proximity of their houses," he said.

He said that the students community must continue their reading habits, adding that this habit provide lots of mental refreshment, references and knowledge besides supporting them in their academic and other competitive examinations.

"The library is a treasure of books and knowledge. It must be preserved and the students should keep it clean and make use of these treasure troves of knowledge," added Kadu.

Commandant of CRPF-138Bn, HS Kales informed that other initiatives like providing a water filter, solar lantern, and medical health camp, providing books and other necessary items to the needy students of the area will continue in future too.

"We have determined to serve the society right from law-and-order issues and all other fronts," said Kales, adding that around 250 books with all necessary sitting arrangements and cupboards have been installed in the library. He hoped that the students community of Itanagar would make the best use of the library by also taking care of the library, the books and the surroundings.

He further appealed to the students to concentrate in their studies; and also remain fit and fine to serve the society.
