The Maharashtra Government has announced plans to enhance 60 prison libraries by providing each with one bookcase and one bookrack under the Matching Fund Scheme of the Raja Rammohun Roy Library Foundation. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has emphasised the importance of fostering a reading culture among inmates to encourage personal growth, improve knowledge, and instil a positive outlook. This step is part of broader prison reform measures aimed at rehabilitation through education, enabling prisoners to utilise their time productively and prepare for a constructive life after release.
