It is a very good project for our village
children and adolescent youths normally
have to travel a lot to reach the nearest
computer center located at Meignanpuram.
These computer centers charge too much –
ie. payment for use of facilities. Moreover,
it is riskier to send girls over and above 10
years of age to such distant places. This
library is very close to our children and
they can spend quality of time and it is
safer for them as well. Since the digital
library has internet facility, it is useful for
everyone in our village to get connected to
world information and updates. I feel it is a
blessing for our children.

It is very nice to have digital library in our
village. My daughter is also leaning
computer there. Children like to go there for
acquiring learning and other skills. Since
children know how to operate cell phones,
they learn very easily to operate the
computer too. They develop their knowledge
there. They are very much interested and
involved.

I attend the computer class daily
minimum an hour after my school
hours. During weekends and
holiday, I spend most of the time in
the library. It is very useful to
supplement my education. I use self
learning CDs available in the
library to learn my subjects. I also
learn drawing and painting.
Facilities are well maintained and
the Centre instructor helping a lot
with practical tips to learn.

Many children and adults too come to the digital
library daily. Children learn spoken English, use
available CDs to improve their vocabulary, learn
their subjects and they learn while they play few
games. Adults come here to prepare for TNPSC
(Tamilnadu Public Service Commission) exams for
career and employment and also prepare for other
entrance exams. Now we have a computer with
internet facility. Usually this facility is available in
cities and town only. Now, youth and children come
and learn to operate the computer and they become
computer literates. It is useful and it helps to develop
our village too.
