NDMC CELEBRATES CHILDREN DAY

DELHI: Shri Jalaj Shrivastava, Chairman of the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC), today inaugurated a newly refurbished library AT HOME WITH BOOK at the Children Park near India Gate at a simple but impressive function here this morning.

 

The function coincides with Children Day celebrations.

 

Accompanied by Shri Vikas Anand, Secretary NDMC and other senior officials, Shri Shrivastava toured the library. He evinced keen interest in various books and magazines displayed there.

 

Speaking on the occasion, Shri Shrivastava said that Nov 14 held a significant value as it was the birthday of Shri Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first prime minister and the architect of modern India who immensely loved children.

 

He said that despite the spread of Interjet, libraries continued to play a major role in fostering literacy, particularly among those sections of the population that need special assistance in developing literacy skills. These include pre-school and elementary level children.

 

Thousands of children from NDMC schools and nearby areas attended the celebrations. Special Children from NDMC School Aancha sang songs were applauded.
