Continuing philanthropic activities, the Rotary Club Brahmapur Central provided desks and benches for two classes and opened a library in the 112-year-old Chacha Nehru UP School here on Friday.
Rotary Governor Dr Narayan Mishra opened the library. Rotarian Engineer Mahesh Prasad Padhy, an old student of the school, spent over Rs 1.5 lakh for donating the furniture and opening the library. Padhy, who had studied in the school from 1956 to 1958 and got Class-V scholarship, advised students to read well and become good citizens in future.
As of now, the Rotary Club Brahmapur Central has provided such supports to 28 schools.
