The Haryana government on Sunday, August 9 said that it will set up modern libraries for students residing in rural areas to prevent migration to cities for opportunities if panchayats provide some land for the purpose.
According to NDTV, the state government aims at ensuring students from villages don't have to travel to the urban areas for competitive exams and to fulfil the educational requirements the government has planned to open libraries.
All village panchayats have been asked to provide a room or two in their respective villages for the construction of a library by the state government, said Haryana Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala.
"The state government will build a modern library at its own expense. The students in the rural areas can immensely benefit from these libraries," he said.
