With such a huge population a times huge problems do arises but at the same time a huge & talented human resources do knock the doors of this great nation, for opportunities and utilization of its skill, knowledge and power.

Hence, an initiative awareness programmes to address such issues might be beneficial for the majority. Programmes like “National Digital Library of India” a magnificent and solution oriented approach by providing 4crore 60 lakh books, a priceless facility for the student community.
But to access those facility a proper internet and electricity facility is must with an awareness programme to introduce these facilities to the rural and remote regions of India, which or whose population is not only unaware but also lacking the basic facility to access such benefits.

Thus, a channelized approach and equal informative facility environment will bring golden names who will contribute in every field, Science, Arts, Literature, Engineering and Medical etc.
