Muskan Ahirwar

A Budding Librarian

Muskan Ahirwar is a sprightly nineyear-old girl from Durga Nagar Village near Bhopal. She is a living example of what young India aims at and can do when they put their mind to it. She is the youngest girl to run a library of her own in the slum area at the back of Rajya Siksha Kendra, in Arera Hills. She calls it “Bal Pustakalaya.” This is her effort to empower the slum children with education. She also throws open discussions with other students and reads aloud various modules from educational books.
