Where from here??Public Libraries project is a long term
projectThe infrastructure to expand the project
nationwide is in place.The Project is unsustainable unless
NRNA takes ownership of the Project and mobilizes financial resources from NCCs to support it. ( Be sponsors and supporters).
Our current annual budget is $20,000 plus NRs 2 Lakhs.
A succession plan is required
