Great initiatives in a short time. Lets hope the youth and students take benefit from these village based resources. The VBC concept is innovative. Though we have a number of reading rooms/libraries in villages like Gulmit and Hyderabad Hunza under the community institutions, but over the years the readership has decreased for a number of reasons, but specifically two to name here: lack of dedicated local volunteers to maintain and manage these village libraries, and availability of updated resources like books, journals and use of new ICTs like CD, DVD etc. Lets hope that these village book clubs plan and overcome these challenges and also instill the spirit and intellectual mentorship of the 'study circles'. cheers Amin Beg Farman and the team!

Why it should do anything for rest of Hunza? Do you really think that establishing libraries will change our mind? you are so innocent. Baltit is the place which has largest no of quality education institution. still it lags behind other villages in terms of literacy rate. Only change in attitude can bring about change. what is use of burdening ourself with books and knowledge when we are not ready to change ourselves. Hunza has maximum literacy rate in north, yet its people are more conservation. i do not want to produce people who read Garcia Narquez and declare that he writes his stories like stories of Hunza. We fail to produce a single eminent scholar of international repute from Hunza. We are thankful to Gojalies who allowed Hunzukuch in this blog to write and comment.

Didar Karim Bari Rupani Foundation ECD Program Gilgit Being an association with education I must appreciate the efforts of GECA officials for initiating such an important element of education our education system of reading and writing in hunza is only limited to school level and the habit of study is been finished we must need to introduce the adult education literacy program which is called (non-formal education) because there is no age limit for study at any age level you can study and those people who have study habit can come and take the advantage of that library or resource center
Secondly that will manage people who are vesting their time in different indoor games because that is not beneficial for their knowledge that is only wastages of time rather then getting any knowledge this culture must be changed and the culture of study must be introduced I will appreciate the efforts of those people who will play their role to establish such unique places where people will get knowledge and it is the expectation of the time to divert the attention of the people towards these activities and save their time rather then going to some where els.i offer my services if needed any where for the betterment of education through this organization..

Engulfed in war, violence, social unrest, and tales of corrupt politicians in Pakistan, we always debate unproductive activities with no real action on the ground. This new initiative of Village book clubs should instil curiosities of learning and deep creative engagement with the wonders of the world around our children. Good effort on the part of GECA and National Book Foundation. GECA people may consider opening one such library or reading club in the major towns in central Hunza such as Aliabad or Baltit.
