Speaker inaugurates computer centre, reading room in Nangloi
Terms it a significant step towards digital empowerment
Delhi Legislative Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta on Sunday inaugurated the Savitri Devi Goyal Institute of Computer Education and Reading Room at Raghunath Dharamshala in Nangloi, calling it a significant step towards digital empowerment and inclusive education.
The programme, organised by Seva Bharati, aims to provide computer education and a dedicated reading space to children and youth, particularly from economically weaker sections. Vishal, Prant Pracharak of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, was also present on the occasion.
Addressing the gathering, Gupta said, “Computer education today is no longer a luxury but an essential requirement of our era. In the digital age, true literacy must necessarily include digital literacy.” He said: “Every reading room, every computer centre is a step towards Viksit Bharat."
He said the centre represents not just the opening of a facility but also the creation of new opportunities for talented youth who often lag behind due to lack of resources. Appreciating the efforts of Seva Bharati and the Goyal family, he noted that the installation of 15 computers and the establishment of a reading room would support students in pursuing their academic goals.
Highlighting the larger national context, Gupta said India is witnessing a digital revolution, strengthened by initiatives like Digital India and the growing prominence of Artificial Intelligence. He emphasised that computer literacy has become essential in almost every profession and government service.
Recalling his student days, he shared how libraries such as Ratan Tata Library near the Delhi School of Economics helped him find quiet spaces for study. He expressed hope that the new reading room would similarly benefit aspirants preparing for competitive examinations like IAS and IPS.
Vishal said, “This reading room will shape dreams, discipline and determination among young minds,” and praised Seva Bharati’s efforts in providing affordable computer education and study facilities.
Gupta expressed confidence that the initiative would inspire similar centres and promote a culture of service and learning among youth.
