To encourage younger people to take up reading, Ngurang Meena has established the first roadside library in Arunachal Pradesh. 

This idea came into being when she saw that there is a wine shop every 100 metres but no library. She took up the initiative all by herself.

In conversation with Times Of India, she mentioned that she has been inviting children to spend 15-20 minutes at the library by offering them chocolates.

I bought books of all kinds worth Rs 10,000 and spent another Rs 10,000 to make the wooden ‘Self-Help Library’. I have kept 70-80 books there and the rest are in my room.

As of now, two donors have donated books to the library.
