In Uttar Pradesh, the state government has decided to establish state-of-the-art digital libraries in Gram Panchayat Secretariats, with a target to complete the procurement of IT equipment in all districts by January 30. Efforts are underway to complete the procurement of furniture for these libraries by January 26, after which the digital libraries will be fully ready for operation.
Panchayati Raj Director Amit Kumar Singh informed that the digital libraries will be equipped with Wi-Fi, LED screens, CCTV cameras, computer systems, along with a rich collection of books and digital learning resources. Through e-books, video and audio lectures, quizzes and a vast repository of digital educational material, students will be able to pursue high-quality preparation while staying in their villages.
Digital libraries are being established in Gram Panchayats across every district. An amount of approximately Rs 4 lakh will be spent on each library. This includes Rs 2 lakh for books, Rs 1.30 lakh for IT equipment and Rs 70,000 for modern furniture.
