Noida : In a thoughtful initiative aimed at promoting education and social responsibility, Noida Lok Manch has launched a used textbook donation drive ahead of the new academic session. The campaign is designed to ensure that students from economically weaker sections receive books in time, without having to wait for the session to begin. The donation drive will take place at Noida Public Library on Sunday, March 29, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Residents, parents and students from Noida and nearby sectors have been urged to donate their old textbooks, especially those for Classes 10 and 12. The organisation has made a special appeal to students who have recently appeared for board examinations to donate their used books and support peers in need.
Books over bouquets: Residents donate textbooks to support students in need.
The initiative aims to facilitate the circulation of knowledge while strengthening community participation in education. By reusing textbooks, the campaign also promotes sustainability alongside academic support. Residents across Noida have already started sharing the message within their society groups, with many stepping forward to participate in the drive. The organisation has appealed to citizens to actively support the campaign and help make quality education more accessible to all.
