How A Library In A Village In Bihar Is Changing The Lives Of The Students -Shreya Pareek

-TheBetterIndia.com

Surya Prakash Rai started PRAYOG and created a library in a village in Bihar which has changed lives of over 400 students in many ways. From eliminating the caste system to encouraging students in taking education seriously, read how Surya's efforts are improving the conditions and attitude in rural Bihar.

Vijay Kumar Chauhan is a Bihari youth, born to a landless daily-wage-worker family. He migrated to Ludhiana at the young age of 15 for a job. The petty salary he received was not enough to support even his basic necessities. Hence, he decided to come back and continue his studies. He knew the power of education and also encouraged other students by giving them free lessons. He met Surya Prakash Rai, a person with a motive to improve the education scenario in the villages of Bihar.

Since then, he has never looked back and has been actively participating in bringing a change with Surya. "I always wanted to give back to the society, and then I thought, what could be better than education? That is when I started PRAYOG," says Surya.
