From Library Research to Academic Excellence

We are proud to celebrate the remarkable achievement of Vaishnavi Shivanagi, whose thesis on the Koli Community received outstanding academic recognition and topped the class.

Her research journey reflects dedication, meaningful scholarship, and the value of libraries in supporting academic excellence. We are especially honoured that Nehru Centre Library and our Head Librarian were acknowledged in the thesis for their guidance and support throughout the research process.

Moments like these inspire us to continue empowering readers, researchers, and future scholars.

Congratulations, Vaishnavi, and best wishes for many more achievements ahead!

Bharti Singh's - No is a Good Word to Say

 Day 3 of our Summer Reading Week brought another meaningful and engaging session with Bharti Singh on “No is a Good Word to Say.”

Through stories, conversations, and interactive activities, children and families explored an important life lesson — understanding that saying no is okay. It helped young participants learn about personal boundaries, confidence, and making choices for themselves without feeling pressured to say yes every time.

The session was not only enjoyable but also deeply thought-provoking, as both children and parents took part with enthusiasm. It became a valuable learning experience, reminding everyone that respecting one’s feelings and voice is an essential part of growing up.

A heartfelt thank you to Bharti Singh for conducting such an insightful and empowering session, making Day 3 memorable for all who attended.
