favourite place to unwind was the Parliament library. And when his term as a BJP MP in the A B Vajpayee government ended, Rawat decided to
build a library of his own.

mostly on science and evolutionary biology In the last three years, it has been
a second home to 30,000 students who have sat there and read from his
collection.

aspirants. The encylopaedias, magazines and books ranging from .spiritualism
and science were terrific,” said Atul Kanade, who used to be a frequent visitor
and went on to top the Maharashtra PSC exam last year.
