Barely three months ago, Shabnam Khaton, a resident of Baratalli Panchayat in Dumka block of Jharkhand, could not write or read. Now, thanks to the district administration-run library in her village, she can write her name and address, put her signature on documents, read short poems and write small passages. An inspired Khaton now feels motivated to complete her metric studies, so that she can teach her daughters, Saba and Sara, who are six and three, respectively. “I will encourage them to become doctors or army officers,” says Khaton.
