Dr. Hasmukh K. Vakharia, a respected orthopedic surgeon has launched a remarkable initiative to promote reading among students and children in Jamnagar. He founded the Sadguru Ranchhoddas Library, a Little Free Book Library dedicated to providing easy access to books for young readers.
The library boasts an impressive collection of around 8,000 old books generously donated by friends and relatives. Among these treasures are several rare and antique volumes, some dating back 70 to 100 years. One of the most prized possessions is a 100-year-old edition of the Ramayana, cherished for its historical and cultural significance.
Understanding the value of preserving knowledge, Dr. Vakharia and his team carefully restored many damaged books, ensuring they were properly bound and stored with care. This thoughtful preservation effort allows future generations to enjoy and learn from these literary gems.
The Sadguru Ranchhoddas Library serves as a beacon of knowledge and inspiration, encouraging literacy and a love of reading in the community. Dr. Vakharia’s dedication has created a valuable resource that enriches the lives of children and supports their educational journey.
