I am Vanitha Jothiraj., a postgraduate in Physics & dedicated science teacher with a decade of service in TN State Government. I serve at a rural school with 306 students(206 Boys & 100 Girls) facing challenges such as limited facilities & inadequate classrooms. Our School has no separate Librarian/ Teacher to take charge of Library. In October, I took charge of the library after completing a six day training at RIE Mysore which equipped me with strategies to enhance its management. Starting with a modest collection of 365 books, I mobilized resources from students, friends, donors and expanded the library to 1085 books. With a clear vision and unwavering commitment, I aim to increase the collection to 2000 books by next year.

I strive to make my classroom always a dynamic science lab using activity-based teaching to deepen students understanding of science. My efforts have earned my school recognition for its science-focused initiatives. This library initiative has been transformative. Once focused solely on my own reading, now thinking about enriching my students reading habits & improving library facilities. This training has reshaped me from a science teacher to a dedicated librarian. What was once a dormant library in our School is now a vibrant learning space. I am deeply grateful to ourJoint Director Mr. V. Jayakumar, coordinator Mr. Nagaraj sir and all the professors who made this possible. I sincerely thank them for this wonderful learning Experience.

In the first week of October while addressing the morning assembly about my RIE Mysore training, I announced that I would personally publish books written by students to encourage their writing skills. It fills me with joy to see that eight students have already stepped forward to participate in this initiative. Another remarkable moment occurred during an eighth standard library period. I assigned students various activities and Prasanna volunteered to present a book review. Expecting a simple story, I recorded his session. Only to be stunned when he reviewed The Cold War, a book exploring the conflict between America and Israel. I was amazed. At that moment, I truly realized the transformative impact of the library training.
