IIM Ranchi has launched first community Library at Ranchi Airport


IIM Ranchi has undertaken an innovative initiative to establish a "Community Library" at Ranchi Airport.

This initiative was in collaboration with the Aarambha Foundation and the Airport Authority of India. The idea of community library aligns with IIM Ranchi's strategic plan for 2030 and further reinforces its commitment to engage with citizens through various forums, such as drum, dance, and dialogue, as part of its Human Connect Initiative. 

The Community Library at Ranchi Airport aims to provide an enriching and intellectually stimulating experience for all passengers, allowing them to utilize their waiting time by reading books, fostering new ideas, and gaining positive inspiration. Recognizing the transformative power of books, IIM Ranchi believes that they can spark profound changes and contribute to the personal and professional growth of individuals. 

As an institution, IIM Ranchi considers the dissemination of management thoughts and the cultivation of deep reflections among citizens to be its institutional responsibility. By establishing this free community library, IIM Ranchi aims to facilitate the spread of knowledge and create meaningful experiences for passengers at Ranchi Airport.

The Aarambha Foundation, renowned for its social initiatives, has played a crucial role in bringing this project to fruition. Their expertise and dedication to promoting literacy and education have been instrumental in the successful implementation of the Community Library.

Ranchi Airport has long been a pioneer in embracing innovative ideas, and the introduction of the Community Library marks another milestone in its journey. The library is poised to enhance the overall passenger experience by providing an engaging and intellectually stimulating environment. 

The inauguration of the Community Library took place today in the esteemed presence of Prof. Deepak Kumar Srivastava, Director of IIM Ranchi, and Shri K. L. Aggarwal, Airport Director of Birsa Munda Airport, Ranchi. Their participation reaffirmed their commitment to fostering a culture of learning and knowledge-sharing. 

The Community Library at Ranchi Airport is open to all passengers, providing them with access to a wide range of books across various genres. It is expected to become a hub for intellectual engagement, encouraging individuals to broaden their horizons and explore new ideas.

IIM Ranchi, Aarambha Foundation, and the Airport Authority of India look forward to the positive impact the Community Library will have on passengers, fostering a love for reading and intellectual growth.
