Importance of Education in Rural Areas: The importance of education is not only increasing in urban areas but also in rural areas. This can be seen from the fact that a large number of children from rural areas are coming to big cities to obtain advanced education. The villages that were once considered symbols of ignorance now have children who are making their mark in the world with their academic qualifications. However, with the advent of 5G technology, people are moving away from books. Nowadays, even government school children are being taught through WhatsApp and online classes, leaving aside private schools.
Initiative in Begusarai to Promote Reading: To tackle these problems, an initiative has been taken in the village of Bihata in Begusarai district, known for being the birthplace of renowned poet Ramdhari Singh Dinkar. Free books are being provided here to connect children with books and provide information about literature. Every Sunday, free books are distributed to people from all sections of society in the village, which is located 15 kilometers away from the district headquarters of Begusarai. A book fair is also organized at the gate of the Government Middle School in Bihata every Sunday, where people can choose their preferred books. Educators are present at the fair to hand out free books and the aim is to divert children from social media towards books.
Free Book Fair in Begusarai: In addition to the works of 70 authors from Begusarai district, books by all authors from Bihar are available at the stalls. Every Sunday, a free book fair is organized here, which is made possible with the support of local people, and needy individuals are provided with free books. The locals mentioned that instead of giving bouquets, books are presented as gifts in any program. To avail of free books, take note of the following addresses: Bihata is 15 kilometers away from the district headquarters of Begusarai, while Middle School Bihata is located near NH-28, 3 kilometers away from Barauni Junction. The book fair is held here every Sunday from noon to late evening, where you can get your favorite books to read.
