In our village, there is one library but functioned without books. It was not useful to our village. Then our children’s parliament members discussed it and gave a petition to the Panchayath President. He did not accept it. But we insisted to receive the petition by giving the same petition again and again. At last he accepted it and solved the problem. Now there is lot of books in the library and we all are happy about it.
