The villagers will get free access to e-books, e-magazines and e-newspapers for relevant content and develop particular skills through the Rockstand application on 100 plus library tablets in 16 Read India centers.
Mlibrary Kiosk has been installed at the centre library where anybody can access eBooks, eMagazines and eNewspaper through Rockstand app on mobile and tablets. Presently, the initiative is piloted only in three centers — Delhi, Gurgaon and Jhajar by the end of June and in the rest of 13 centers it will happen over a span of six months.
