(11 Sep 2021) In the heart of Northwest Delhi’s Karala village is an airy room where young women have been spending their days for the last week, studying in a space of their own in the first women’s only library in the district.
“This is a community driven project. They have given us the space and pledged to maintain and look after it. It is mainly targeted at young women, aged between 21 and 28, who are done with schooling and college and are now preparing for what’s ahead.

The library is free, so there should be nothing holding women or their families back,” said Northwest Delhi District Magistrate Cheshta Yadav.
