From THE DESK OF PRESIDENT RANGANATHAN SOCIETY FOR SOCIAL WELFARE & LIBRARY DEVELOPMENT

The Birla Institute of Management Technology (BIMTECH), Greater

Noida & Bhubaneswar have been taking keen interest in Corporate

Social Responsibility (CSR). By teaching our students a full course

on ‘Responsible Business’, we try to inculcate in them our deep

faith that no business can survive on sustainable manner if it does

not fulfill its social responsibility.

The Ranganathan Society Social Welfare Library Development

(RSSWLD) is a conduit which helps our institute to undertake

projects to help all those citizens who are from the under

privileged sections of society.

This financial year marked a significant moment for us in this area

of activity. We were able to conduct 14 activities in different

thematic areas.

Our landmark achievement this year has been the establishment

of Library in the District Jail, Lucknow. This endeavor was hugely

appreciated by everyone because the library set up in the Jail

helped to minimize the gap between inmates and society.

We commit ourselves to contribute our best in creating a caring

society and for this we need your blessings, support and guidance.

I request all philanthropists to come and strengthen our hands.

This endeavor was hugely appreciated by everyone because the library set up in the Jail helped to minimize the gap between inmates and society

From THE DESK OF SECRETARY RANGANATHAN SOCIETY FOR SOCIAL WELFARE & LIBRARY DEVELOPMENT

I am extremely happy to share our piece of work with you. In the

year 2013-14 we conducted 14 activities successfully. I am optimistic

and confident that we will gear up our speed in the next year and

be able to cover many new milestones.

In this financial year we expanded our connect and good relations

with the different parts of the society and also received many

requests from various untouched sectors. Our volunteers and

team members are now pursuing their field research on

pertaining issues and their remedial measures. RSSWLD is now

committed to building a new image of India in the world map.

I take this opportunity to thank each and every individual, past and

present volunteers and well-wishers, who were involved with the

development and progress of the RSSWLD. Without their

committed support and sustained efforts, we could not have

achieved so much.

With best wishes!

ACTIVITIES AT A GLANCE

Library Establishment at District Jail, Lucknow (UP) :- A good book is a good

friend, teacher and company. Prisoners required the same information as

required in regular society, but with a greater number of them having low

education skills, they experience difficulties in articulating their information

needs or in their attempts to seek information. On 25th May 2013 an NGO

Ranaganathan Society for Social Welfare & Library Development with the

financial support of Birla Institute of Management Technology, Greater Noida

inaugurated “BIMTECH Pustakalaya” in District Jail, Lucknow for the prison

inmates. The library was inaugurated by Shri Rajesh Pratap Singh, ADG, Dr.

Harivansh Chaturvedi, BIMTECH & President, RSSWLD, Shri Dadhiram Morya,

Suypritendent and Dr. Sharad Kulshreshth. On this occasion Ranaganathan

Society and BIMTECH, Greater Noida donated around 2500 books, 4 computer,

10 Cupboards , table, chairs and CD/DVDs to the library.




Library is a growing organism that requires constant positive changes to meet the need of its user. The invention of computer

has brought in a rapid change in the society. Therefore, automation has become the need of the hour. Library automation not

only improves the image of the library staff but also provides additional services to the users with the existing staff.

A need of the society was felt- amongst many senior citizens of NCR as there was hardly any interaction between them. They

were suffering from loneliness which is most dreaded disease in old age. We all have a common desire to come together and

share the joys and grief of each other. Motivated by this sprit a society was founded in the year 2006 and got registered on 19th

July 2007 under society Registration Act. 1860 with Registrar of Societies, Govt. of NCT of Delhi with name of society “Varishtha

Nagrik Samaj”. The society (Varishtha Nagrik samaj) is a non - profit, non - political and secular organization in nature. Its

Registered Office is in New Delhi and working office in Greater Noida. Shri H.C. Gupta, General Secretary of the organization

came to know through local news papers about RSSLWD endeavors regarding development of the libraries he immediately

came and urged to Dr. Rishi for automation on 02nd September, 2013. Society has accepted his request and RSSWLD Team

members Mr. Subhash, Mr. Naqi and Ms. Tanu have done a remarkable job for them.
