Detailed Description:

"Shivam is a resident of a small town, Deoband (Uttar Pradesh), which has limited facilities for education. He has been working with the Udgam welfare society, an NGO that focuses on providing education, mentorship and other resources to the underprivileged children. Meanwhile, Siddharth has been approached by many aspiring children for a request for books and reading material to study for their higher education. Either most lack the funds to purchase expensive books, or even if they do, books are not readily available. Although Shivam comes from a well-to-do family, he always had the drive to do something for his community. Siddharth decided to assist Shivam in his efforts. Together, they built a strong volunteering community of 35 individuals who were periodically assigned duties like collecting new books and keeping a detailed account of their presently available books. Towards the end of their journey, they faced one major hurdle - a shortage of funds. By publicizing it on social media, they were able to raise INR 25,000 and achieve their goal of opening 12 libraries. Today, the people of the village look up to the team for bringing books closer to their children."
