People of every class are now appreciating the initiative of Ananya Polsani
Apart from collecting books, Ananya Polsani keeps sports equipment, laptops and e-learning books in her mobile van named ‘Stories on Wheels’
An opportunity to spend a holiday in a village inspired a Telangana student to launch ‘Stories on Wheels’, a mobile library that provides access to books and empowers rural students from government schools. Now people of every class are appreciating this initiative of Kishori.
Ananya Polsani studies in Class 11 at Chirek Public School in Hyderabad. A few months ago, she got a chance to visit her maternal grandfather’s village and there Ananya went to see the library of a government school. He came to know that there are only a few books in the library. When Ananya talked to the teachers in the school, they said that they are not in a position to bring new books to the library. Ananya then got the idea of bringing all kinds of books to the doorstep of government schools across the state to enrich the existing potential of the students.
With the help of philanthropists, he bought an old ambulance and converted it into a mobile van. He put a rack in the van to display the books. She visited various gated communities and collected books that contained stories, cartoons, epics and information about personality development. Apart from collecting books, he also kept sports equipment, laptops and e-learning books in the mobile van named ‘Stories on Wheels’. With the noble initiative of Kishori, ‘Stories on Wheels’ is now reaching most of the government schools in Telangana where students are getting a chance to read books of their own interest.
“Recently the Stories on Wheels van visited our gated community. The van was full of story books. I usually go to the reading room or library to read my favorite books but now they are all arriving at my doorstep. Pallavi, a class 7 student, told News18, “It is really a wonderful feeling to study while sitting in the van.
Now the count of Ananya’s collection of books has reached 1,000. When News18 contacted her, she said that she is planning to arrange more vans for more schools from the month of June. He also said that each van would be available in each school for a period of one week.
