&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;One of them is in Kolkata, and the other, in a village. Both were set up to keep schoolchildren amidst books.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The distance between the posh neighbourhood of Patuli in Kolkata and the dusty meandering roads of Ashina village is over 50 kilometres. The villagers of Ashina most likely have never seen the towering housing complexes near the Satyajit Ray Park in Patuli. Similarly, most of the residents of Patuli may have never set foot near Ashina.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Kalidas Haldar, a resident of Patuli and an English teacher at a government school in Kolkata, has never heard of Razzak SK, a migrant labourer currently living in Ashina without a job. Rahila Khatun, an eighteen-year-old, has never been to the little shabby grocery shop that Tarapada Kahar runs just in front of Halder&amp;rsquo;s building in Patuli. Yet, all of them are part of a grander narrative that has been unfolding since the lockdown of 2020.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Haldar became increasingly aware of the impact of the lockdown on the impressionable minds of school students. &amp;ldquo;I saw how being confined to their homes had made the kids vulnerable to the darker side of the digital world,&amp;rdquo; he said. &amp;ldquo;It made me upset to see how so many kids spent all their recreational time playing games.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;And so he conceived the idea of a street library and decided to translate it into reality. Haldar asked Tarapada Kahar, a grocer, whether he could use an old fridge to store some books outside his shop. Kahar, who never went to school, agreed promptly. &amp;ldquo;I never had the chance to get an education,&amp;rdquo; Kahar said. &amp;ldquo;I don&amp;rsquo;t want anyone else to have a similar fate.&amp;rdquo; On February 21, 2021, the Patuli Street Library came into existence.&lt;/p&gt;

Rahila Khatun, an eighteen-year-old, has never been to the little shabby grocery shop that Tarapada Kahar runs just in front of Halder&amp;rsquo;s building in Patuli. Yet, all of them are part of a grander narrative that has been unfolding since the lockdown of 2020.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Haldar became increasingly aware of the impact of the lockdown on the impressionable minds of school students. &amp;ldquo;I saw how being confined to their homes had made the kids vulnerable to the darker side of the digital world,&amp;rdquo; he said. &amp;ldquo;It made me upset to see how so many kids spent all their recreational time playing games.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;And so he conceived the idea of a street library and decided to translate it into reality. Haldar asked Tarapada Kahar, a grocer, whether he could use an old fridge to store some books outside his shop. Kahar, who never went to school, agreed promptly. &amp;ldquo;I never had the chance to get an education,&amp;rdquo; Kahar said. &amp;ldquo;I don&amp;rsquo;t want anyone else to have a similar fate.&amp;rdquo; On February 21, 2021, the Patuli Street Library came into existence.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://scroll.in/article/991946/born-in-the-pandemic-these-libraries-in-bengal-run-with-meagre-resources-but-get-people-reading?fbclid=IwAR3p2AINJp7F2fg7w5fz-PQHeOhjRYUQuHnVy5RemrEgGP4By1Vv1SJqr-U&quot; title=&quot;https://scroll.in/article/991946/born-in-the-pandemic-these-libraries-in-bengal-run-with-meagre-resources-but-get-people-reading?fbclid=IwAR3p2AINJp7F2fg7w5fz-PQHeOhjRYUQuHnVy5RemrEgGP4By1Vv1SJqr-U&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more.&lt;/p&gt;&#039;

The distance between the posh neighbourhood of Patuli in Kolkata and the dusty meandering roads of Ashina village is over 50 kilometres. The villagers of Ashina most likely have never seen the towering housing complexes near the Satyajit Ray Park in Patuli. Similarly, most of the residents of Patuli may have never set foot near Ashina. Kalidas Haldar, a resident of Patuli and an English teacher at a government school in Kolkata, has never heard of Razzak SK, a migrant labourer currently living in Ashina without a job. Rahila Khatun, an eighteen-year-old, has never been to the little shabby grocery shop that Tarapada Kahar runs just in front of Halder’s building in Patuli. Yet, all of them are part of a grander narrative that has been unfolding since the lockdown of 2020. Haldar became increasingly aware of the impact of the lockdown on the impressionable minds of school students. “I saw how being confined to their homes had made the kids vulnerable to the darker side of the digital world,” he said. “It made me upset to see how so many kids spent all their recreational time playing games.” And so he conceived the idea of a street library and decided to translate it into reality. Haldar asked Tarapada Kahar, a grocer, whether he could use an old fridge to store some books outside his shop. Kahar, who never went to school, agreed promptly. “I never had the chance to get an education,” Kahar said. “I don’t want anyone else to have a similar fate.” On February 21, 2021, the Patuli Street Library came into existence.
