District administration Poonch launches ‘Paper bridge project’

POONCH, June 15: Office of the Deputy Commissioner Poonch has launched “The Paper Bridge Project” in partnership with Sarvahitey, a leading non-profit organization.The project aims to set up libraries in 10 residential schools for tribal students and 2 orphanages across the district, enhancing the learning environment for our young learners.

The DC, Poonch, and the founder of Sarvahitey NGO had an insightful interaction earlier today, marking the kick-off of this project.

Project Paper Bridge, a flagship initiative of Sarvahitey, has already left a commendable footprint across India by setting up over 300 libraries in 12 states and union territories. In the spirit of community involvement, a book donation drive will be initiated in Poonch to allow locals to contribute towards this noble cause, thereby not just supplying books for the libraries but also fostering a culture of collective effort and shared growth.

The DC expressed his excitement about the collaboration with Sarvahitey and the potential of Project Paper Bridge to bring about significant change in their district. He mentioned that libraries are more than just books; they serve as gateways to endless opportunities and a wealth of knowledge. He further stated that by introducing libraries to residential schools and orphanages, they are preparing their children for a brighter and more empowered future.
