level to provide education to those for whom quality
education is a dream. IDAF has now taken an approach

rural areas and digitizing them are some of the
measures IDAF has initiated. We are also imparting

Little has been done for farmers in India even though a lot
has been done in the field of agriculture. Over the years, the
government has launched various schemes and policies to
encourage farming in general but nothing really has been
done to aid the farmers in particular. While some corporates
and organisation too, work for the betterment of the status
of agriculture in the country, it is only the government that
supports the farmers. However, their support is not enough.
IDAF is working for the development of Farmers club & SHGs
to aware them about climate change & ICT usage. We are
also working with landless farmers to connect them with
crowdfunding in their odd days so that no one thinks of
committing suicide in distress.

Since the ancient times, libraries serve as
community information centers providing access
at local level to a wide range of knowledge and

role in Information sharing & learning , the public
libraries in India still are largely being considered
as repository for books & facing issues like low
level of computerization and automation, dearth
of appropriate reading material in local languages
etc.
Realizing the potential of Public& Community
Libraries in empowering communities through
increasing their access to information and
grassroots community engagement, India

Support of Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in
