Taking to Twitter, IFS officer Parveen Kaswan shared some pictures of the mini roadside library, calling it the "best investment for Nation-building."
Now this is what every city must copy. #Mizoram's capital #Aizawl has a couple of these tiny roadside libraries. Libraries are the best investment for nation building. North East showing the way. Via @asomputra pic.twitter.com/mFmFspuSyg

Netizens React
The moment the video was shared, netizens poured in love foir this thought provoking initiative. While some people called the concept an 'interesting' and 'innovative' one, others stated that it will not be a good idea in other states.
Beautiful isn't it?! A few years ago, citizens in Dimapur pulled in resources to open the first public library! I still visit children libraries and get books. Given I missed out on so many amazing books as a child, I balance my life with books meant for kids from 4 yrs till 100!

Absolutely innovative! This is what we need. I have seen across the lanes of Kolkata where free news papers are being kept for citizen readers.
