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.
