Alavi Library was inaugurated and elocution competition was held
near Taiyebi Masjid on 24th Feb. 2002, Sunday at 4pm in the presence
of His Holiness Saiyedna Saheb (TUS). The main purpose of both these
events was to develop the quality of leadership in the children,
to explore their inner capabilities, to widen their scope of knowledge
and to provide them proper guidance. A library in our community
was a necessity since long back. Our Saiyedna Saheb (TUS) had a
wish to establish a library so that the children of the community
could get religious (deeni) as well as general (dunyawi) knowledge.
To accomplish this stupendous mission, Saiyedna Saheb (TUS) has
granted his own flat at Gulistaan Aptt., Ajwa Road to establish
the library. We are thankful to those generous people who have given
almost 1200 books to the library. At present, library has vast collection
of books consisting of dictionaries, encyclopedias; books on religion,
science, history, Qur’an, literature, grammar, news dailies,
magazines, general knowledge etc. The establishment of Alavi Library
is an important milestone in the progress of our community. Library
remains open in the evenings in the weekdays. Our community should
take maximum advantage of the library.
On this auspicious occasion, a well known writer and socialist Mr.
Gunwant Shah was also invited. He addressed the people after the
elocution competition and shared his views and thoughts among the
people. He was quite impressed by the progress and the education
status of the women in our community. He wished an excellent progress
for our community. He awarded prices to the winners of the elocution
competition. Hundreds of people participated in this historic event
and celebrated a new and golden beginning of the community.
Here are some of the categories which consist of certain interesting
titles.
