Speaking at the event, Aparajita praised the contributors, stating that donating books is one of the noblest forms of charity, as it can transform the lives of deserving and underprivileged students. She urged officers, employees, and citizens to contribute to the initiative so that students from economically weaker sections can access quality study materials free of cost.
