Pass-it-on Library
The Pass-it-on concept is wonderful for two things; one it can help someone and the other that it is an intelligible way of recycling goods, services and knowledge or all –
Based on this and since we in urban settings have so much that can be used we can easily put it to use if there is a place and need for it and this way we provide for the betterment and development through a very social conscience.
So if you have anything that is worthy of value and can be used over again please do not hesitate to forward it to us at Bihar Parivartan Samaj to help us build centres for education and development through your generosity and benevolence -
It could be any item -

We are building a library completely with pass-it-on reading goods and will like to pass it on to another area or community after we have finished using them.
If you would like to pass it on please do not hesitate to enquire with us or you could send to the following address –
