Best Village Public Library - Kumudavalli in West Godavari district, Andhra Pradesh

A tremendous example of a 100% literate village that believes in the transformative power of education and the library.

·         "library dowry"; for every wedding in the village, the family has to donate something to the library, even if it's just ₹10.

·         Diwali, each household has to pay up ₹20.

·         A research scholar from the surrounding area has to submit a copy of their thesis to the library.
