What this scheme offers
Access to a computer and reliable internet is often taken for granted in cities but far less certain in Mizoram's rural areas, and a library built without that access misses half of what young people and students actually need today. The ZPM government's rural library push has established 273 new computer-equipped libraries across the state, pairing physical books with internet-connected computers — bringing both kinds of access to villages that would otherwise have neither, as part of a broader push to extend digital and reading infrastructure beyond Aizawl and Mizoram's other urban centres.
Who is eligible
