With an aim to promote reading habit among youngsters, a public library has been opened inside the Biju Patnaik Park, commonly known as 'Forest Park' in Bhubaneswar.

The initiative has been started by Bakul Foundation, a city-based organisation, in collaboration with Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA).

The vice president of BDA, Prem Chandra Chaudhary said, "It's free for all.

It will help underprivileged children to access costly books." The public library was inaugurated on March 21 on the occasion of 'World Poetry Day'.

Currently, around 2000 books, including fiction, non-fiction, biographies, classics and textbooks are available in the library.

On Wednesday morning, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, alongside state government officials, made a notable visit to a slum in Bhubaneswar, Odisha. Their destination was the Biju Adarsh Colony in the Maa Mangla Basti, where they engaged directly with the residents. Gates' purpose extended beyond a mere inspection of living conditions; he also took the opportunity to interact closely with women's self-help groups (SHGs) that operate within the area. This visit underscores the collaborative efforts between various departments of the state government and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Together, they are striving to address critical issues within marginalised communities, particularly focusing on empowerment initiatives led by women's SHGs.
