Youth and Reading
‘Books are our gateway to the collective wisdom of humanity by transcending the boundaries of time and space’. Reading also helps in developing ‘Bauddhik Svavlamban’ which forms a key aspect of the ‘Trividh Svavlamban’ framework put forth by Vinoba. In the NIRMAN process, we encourage the healthy habit of reading.
While reading quality non-fiction helps in cultivating a fact-based worldview, reading quality fiction helps nourish us as a human being. To ensure that high quality books take a precedence in youth’s reading list, we make available such books at subsidized rates during NIRMAN Workshops and other volunteering activities at SEARCH. NIRMAN regularly conducts book clubs in workshops and colleges.
Over the years, NIRMAN alumni have read and presented various fiction / non-fiction books.
