No one can develop without them. Three things are said to be the primary sources of learning.

The expansion of a person’s information, the storage of words in his mind and thinking, the elevation of ideas, the ability to express his thoughts in front of others and the ability to understand the thoughts and ideas of others will be born at the same time. When man himself will study the books. And books are needed for study. But the most difficult issue is with the students that they cannot buy every book. Even if they want to bring a book to their study, most of the students miss out on the study because of the cost of the books. . Ghati’s Irfan Ali understood this well and established a library for the youth in his area. Where students and youth can study their favorite books.

Irfan Ali is a resident of a village in Budgam district of Kashmir. He was preparing for UPSC by staying in Delhi before the corona pandemic. But at the time of Corona, when the countrywide lockdown started, Irfan Ali had to return to his village. He was continuing his education while staying here. But they could not find the atmosphere like Delhi. The most difficult issue was that he could not find the books he wanted. He saw the trouble of others in his trouble. They must be worried. And keeping this in mind, Irfan Ali established a library in his area for the study of youth. Where now they study themselves and provide books for others to study.

Irfan Ali says that when I left my village to study in Delhi, I saw a different world. Education in Delhi has its own set-up. He says that during his studies, he joined a library in Delhi to study. I liked the system very much. People used to study there very calmly. And I also felt very good going there. And was earnestly studying in Delhi. But due to Corona, I had to leave coaching in Delhi. And in the middle of my studies, I had to return to Kashmir from Delhi.
He says that when I was returning to my village from Delhi, I thought that now I will complete the rest of my education by staying in my village. And with that intention I returned home. But when I came to my village and wanted to further my education, I could not find the system that was there in Delhi. He says that the biggest problem was the books. Due to the lack of a library here, books were not available. A government-run library operates in Srinagar. But even there, there is no atmosphere like Delhi. There was a time problem in the Srinagar library. Other books that I needed were also missing. Considering this, I decided to establish a library.
Irfan Ali says that when I started the library here, first few people joined this library. And most of the students were from my class. He says that my first aim by building a library here was that I have to study myself. And if someone else benefits from it, that’s great.

Irfan Ali tells that I have collected all those books in this library. which students need. And can be useful in making them successful in competitive exams. He says that students preparing for all competitive exams including UPSC come here. And study in the library.

Irfan Ali says that it is difficult for students to buy books in this era of inflation. And not everyone can build a personal library either. That is why the importance of library increases even more in this era. And each person has a different preference. Some people like history books. Some people like literary while others like political books. And most like their textbooks. And all these people get together in the library. And people are exposed to many books at a time.

Zahra, a student studying in the library established by Irfan Ali, says that she used to go to the library in Srinagar to study earlier. But it also took time to get there. And others could not find the books we needed there. There was a time of Srinagar library. And it was opened at that time. But this library is close to our house. And available to us round the clock. Wi-Fi facility is available in this library. There are also separate rooms for girls. If we want to pray, or rest or do any other work, a separate room has been made for us. The facilities I have seen in this library are not available anywhere else.

Irfan Ali has emerged as an example for the youth in Ghati. Who are also advancing in the field of education. And others are also encouraging the youth through their library.
