Support the Vision
We are building the Deshratna Dr. Rajendra Prasad Memorial Library in Ziradei, Siwan. The physical library is not open yet — your support today makes it possible.
Current Status: Building Phase
We are actively raising support to build this library. A bank account and formal UPI link are being set up. In the meantime, you can support us by donating books by post or joining us as a volunteer.
Donate Books by Post
The most direct way to support the library right now is to send us books! We accept educational books, novels, textbooks, reference books, and children's literature. All genres welcome.
📚 What Books Do We Need?
School and college textbooks (Hindi & English), competitive exam guides (BPSC, SSC, UPSC), Hindi and regional literature, science & general knowledge books, children's storybooks and comics.

Our Commitment to Transparency
This project is run by Asha Trust. We currently have no formal bank account for cash donations — we will announce UPI and bank details officially once the account is verified and active. We will never ask for donations through personal accounts. Until then, book donations are the most direct way to help.
