One Library Per Villager (OLPV) has so far opened 7 libraries in villages of Kerala. They also support the existing libraries. “Being from a remote village and a lover of library, the present reading habits of students worried me a lot and also the biggest problem India facing today is a digital divide. The nation gives less importance to adult education and a person above 25 years of age do not have any facility to learn latest technology. Save the library is also a part of OLPV and through book bucket challenge we are collecting books so that the libraries become functional.” says Sujai G. Pillai, in a talk with The Logical Indian.
