Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Thursday dedicated 14 ultra-modern rural public libraries to the people with an aim to further inculcating reading habit among the youth and make them a partner in progress of the state.

He envisioned that these rural libraries would act as a harbinger of growth and prosperity in the state, adding that the path-breaking initiative was aimed at developing reading habit among the youth of the state.
