“Give a book, illuminate a mind” … is the concept behind the scheme of Free Distribution of Books. In all homes, there are several books that are relegated to dusty lofts or dark corners once they are read. These books are too precious to be sold by weight along with old papers or to be torn up or burnt. The deep-seated urge to inculcate the reading habit among all people, irrespective of class, caste, and economic status, gave birth to this unique scheme of collecting books from people who no longer need them and distributing them to readers who might otherwise hesitate to buy new books.
