SHILLONG, SEPT 23: The 5th MLP battalion in New Delhi has created a one of its kind mini library for its personnel. Besides aiming to improve literacy, the intention of this project is to provide some leisure time while inculcating a reading habit amongst the personnel.
Books on subjects like short stories, great leaders, folk lore, historical facts, freedom fighters in major languages – English, Khasi, Garo and Hindi are kept in this library.
Taking a step further, the battalion has written to all the state houses and Bhavans in New Delhi to donate books to promote knowledge about their states. This received immense response.
Since the battalion personnel are deployed all over the Delhi city, a mobile library has also been organized for distribution of the books in their respective place of stay.
This project has been a blessing for the personnel of 5th MLP (3rd IR) Battalion where they have been able to improve their knowledge through readings while making proper use of their spare time.
Commandant FG Kharshiing while inaugurating this mini library known as “The 5th Battalion Book House” appreciated the efforts of his staff to make this project a success.
Kharshiing also appeals to all book lovers in Meghalaya to kindly donate books towards this library which will go a long way in improving the morale, welfare and literacy of the 5th MLP personnel posted at New Delhi.- By Our Reporter
