In Jamtara, old panchayat buildings turned into libraries and study circles for the youth

Jamtara, a district that’s associated with cyber crime, now has 118 such libraries.

Rahul Chakroborty is sitting pretty these days. The 25-year-old from Nala block in Jharkhand’s Jamtara district is on the reserve merit list of Gramin Bank and is a physical test away from qualifying for the Railways’ Group-D examination for non-technical jobs. However, until 2018, all Chakroborty knew was that he needed a government job, but was clueless about how to work towards his goal. He knew associating himself with a coaching institute and a mentor would help but with the family dependent on his father’s tailoring job, there was little money to spare.
