Kindly suggest us a list of books that can be brought for our VKC

Dear all,

You all know about our village knowledge center.It is functioning well.Yesterday we bought two computers for the center.

(Visit http://kalikuppam.blogspot.com/ OR http://newearthefforts.blogspot.com/)

Tomorrow at 2-4 pm, we are conducting an awareness camp on India's Ocean Information system's services to fisherman and AIRTEL-IFFCO Fisherman Voice SMS service.MSSRF staff will be conducting the programme. Today myself and Meikandan (MSSRF) mobilized the people for tomorrow's programme. We expect good participation tomorrow.

As per our earlier plan we have setup a tiny library in our VKC. With the fresh funds coming in, we are planning to buy around 100 books more for the library. (We have repaired a bureau with help of village youth for this purpose).

I request you all to kindly suggest us a list of books that can be brought for our VKC. I have attached an XL sheet, kindly fill and mail me back as early as possible.

Our Target readers are:

1. School going children

2. College (ITI, Engg, Polytechnic, Arts, Science students)

3. Housewives

4. Unmarried young women

5. Fisherwomen

6. Fisherman

7. Neo Literate

Already for our present collection of 20 odd books we have good response. Hope we can build a interesting and worthy collection.

Together we can make our VKC best in the country( as said by our village headmaster in the VKC inauguration function.)
