District – Samastipur
State – Bihar

Samastipur is a district in Bihar and is largely an agricultural farmland. Despite there being many schools (both government and private), there are no education centres where students can sit and study. The lack of books for children who want to study also has had a negative impact. The local populace is not aware of the importance of education, leaving the children with no zeal to study and the female population mostly uneducated. This absence of interest and enthusiasm for education has left most of the population uneducated.

Even though it was a major challenge for us to get the locals excited about learning, our LitIndia team conducted several education awareness campaigns to educate them. This included storytelling, writing competitions and painting competitions. The campaigns turned out to be a huge success as we had more than 150 students enrolled when we opened our library.  It took us three months to set up our library in Samastipur and make it operational.

We plan to expand our education programs to the surrounding areas so that more young people can learn and build a better future for themselves and the community.
