Nagpur Book Club Continues Educational Support for Children at Sadhaar Parivar Sanstha

Nagpur | 17th July 2026

Reaffirming its commitment to the cause of education, Nagpur Book Club organised its annual donation drive at Sadhaar Parivar Sanstha’s free study centre on 17th July 2026, at Nimje Niwas, Chitnispura, Mahal, where underprivileged children were provided with notebooks, stationery pouches, craft materials, cookies and other educational and nutritional essentials.

For the past ten years, Shri Naresh Nimje and the dedicated members of Sadhaar Parivar Sanstha have been running the free study centre, ensuring that children from economically weaker families receive quality education without any cost. The programme witnessed the participation of social workers, well-wishers and volunteers committed to the cause of education.

Addressing the children, Rohit Tokhi, Co-founder of Nagpur Book Club, urged them to attend classes regularly and study sincerely. “Education is the most powerful means of transforming one’s life”, he told the students, and encouraged them to dream big and work hard to build a brighter future.

Dinesh Dhawane, Executive Member of Sadhaar Parivar Sanstha, assured the children that the Sanstha and its members would continue to support them throughout their educational journey and provide every possible assistance required for their academic growth.

The organisers expressed their gratitude to Shri Vinod Sonkul and Shri Kamlesh Shambharkar, whose generous contributions played a significant role in the success of the programme.

Speaking on the occasion, Shri Naresh Nimje, President of Sadhaar Parivar Sanstha, thanked all donors, volunteers and members of Nagpur Book Club for their continued support. He said that while the President and members voluntarily devote their time and resources to the initiative, the teachers who educate the children must be paid an honorarium. Rising operational costs have made it increasingly difficult to sustain the free study centre.

He appealed to the citizens of Nagpur to contribute whatever they can so that the education of these underprivileged children continues uninterrupted. “Every contribution helps ensure that no child is forced to discontinue education due to financial constraints,” he said.

The collaboration between Nagpur Book Club and Sadhaar Parivar Sanstha continues to demonstrate how collective community efforts can create lasting change by giving underprivileged children the opportunity to learn, grow and build a better future.

Nagpur Book Club Celebrates World Book Day 2026 with a Memorable Fellowship Meet

Nagpur Book Club marked World Book Day 2026 with warmth, laughter, and a shared love for literature at a special fellowship meet held on Sunday, 19th April. Although World Book Day falls on 23rd April, the club thoughtfully chose a Sunday so that more members could come together and celebrate without the constraints of a working day. Nagpur Book Club has been celebrating World Book Day every year since 2015.

Hosted graciously by Dr. Tejinder Singh Rawal, Founder of Nagpur Book Club, at his residence, the gathering saw an enthusiastic turnout of over 70 members. The atmosphere was lively from the very beginning, as members reintroduced themselves, offering glimpses into their reading journeys, literary preferences, and the books currently occupying their bedside tables. It was a reminder of the diverse reading culture that defines the club.

One of the highlights of the meet was an engaging literary game that tested both memory and imagination. Members were presented with quotes and situations from well-known books and had to guess the corresponding literary characters. The room buzzed with excitement as guesses flew around, often accompanied by laughter and friendly debates.

Adding a personal and reflective touch to the event, members were invited to write their favourite book quotes on post-it notes. These were then displayed on a vibrant “quotes wall” that quickly became a focal point of the gathering. Reading through the collection felt like walking through a shared literary soul of the group. Members later voted for the most impactful quotes, and the winners were rewarded with thoughtfully chosen bookmarks.

During the meet, Dr. Rawal also announced an upcoming collaboration with India Peace Center to commemorate Earth Day on 22nd April at 8 AM at the India Peace Centre campus in Civil Lines, Nagpur. The announcement was met with great interest, reflecting the club’s commitment to meaningful community engagement beyond books.

The evening concluded on a delightful note with a grand dinner, where conversations flowed as freely as the food. It was a time for deeper connections, shared recommendations, and the simple joy of being among fellow book lovers.

Special appreciation goes to Amarjit Singh, Rinku Matharu, Simi Rawal, Jigyasa Rawal, and RJ Tejal, whose efforts played a key role in making the event a success.

Nagpur Book Club continues to host its monthly meets, bringing together readers to discuss and celebrate literature. For updates on upcoming meets, including dates and venues, follow Nagpur Book Club on our social media channels:

📚✨ Nagpur Book Club March 2026 Meet – A Grand Success at Nagpur Kala Sangh, VR Mall ✨📚

Nagpur Book Club’s March 2026 Book Meet turned out to be one of our biggest and most memorable gatherings so far.

This time, the meet was organised under the aegis of Nagpur Kala Sangh, the annual Art & Literature Festival hosted by VR Nagpur and the session was held at a beautiful venue inside the mall, attracting not only registered participants but also many curious visitors who happily joined the celebration of books.

We received around 108 registrations, and more than 80 bibliophiles attended, making it one of the largest meets in the history of the Nagpur Book Club. The lively atmosphere, thoughtful discussions, and enthusiastic participation made the evening truly special.

The meet began with Rohit Tokhi welcoming all book lovers to the session. He briefly explained the working of the Nagpur Book Club and emphasised that it is a completely free book club where everyone is welcome, and anyone who loves books can join the discussions without any membership fee or formalities.

The meet then began with a brilliant review by Anil Saxena, retired Principal Chief Conservator of Forests & HoFF Maharashtra, who spoke about
Nehru & Bose: Parallel Lives by Rudrangshu Mukherjee.

The book explores the complex relationship between Jawaharlal Nehru and Subhas Chandra Bose, two of India’s most admired leaders, whose friendship, rivalry, and ideological differences shaped an important chapter of the freedom movement.

Mr. Saxena explained how the book presents both leaders as strong personalities with different visions for India, and how their parallel journeys reveal the human side of history.

New member Shruti Moglewar presented a heartfelt review of Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami.

She described the novel as an emotional and deeply personal story about youth, love, loneliness, and memory.

Set in 1960s Tokyo, the book follows a young man navigating relationships, loss, and the confusion of growing up. Shruti shared how reading the book felt like an emotional journey, where the quiet moments of the story leave a lasting impact on the reader.

Ashok Rathi delivered a captivating and thoughtful analysis of Point Counter Point by Aldous Huxley.

He explained that the novel is unusual because it does not focus on one hero, but instead presents many characters, each representing different ideas about life, art, science, morality, and society.

Though the book is long and intellectually demanding, Mr. Rathi said that the effort is rewarding, as the novel offers deep satisfaction to readers who enjoy philosophical and thought-provoking literature.

Lata Tokhi stole the show with her beautiful and engaging review of Middlemarch by George Eliot.

She described the novel as a powerful exploration of ordinary people, their ambitions, their mistakes, and their relationships. Set in a small English town, the book shows how everyday lives are filled with deep emotions, moral choices, and quiet heroism.

Lata pointed out that Middlemarch is widely regarded as one of the greatest works of English literature because of the way it celebrates human life in all its complexity.

She also left the audience with a few thought-provoking questions about relationships and human expectations, which sparked a lively discussion among the attendees even after the meet had officially ended; a true sign of a great book and a great review.

Nagpur Book Club proudly continues to support and promote local writers, and two talented authors introduced their books at the meet.

Priya Srivastava presented her newly published book Feminine Mirror: Stories of 30 Women at 30, an inspiring collection that explores the journeys, struggles, and triumphs of thirty women at a defining age in life.

Sonal Yadav introduced her mythological science-fiction novel The Kalpavigrah, a fascinating story about the discovery of a mysterious metal idol believed to be 28,000 years old, blending mythology, history, and science fiction.

The book meet was conducted by Rohit Tokhi, who introduced the reviewers and authors, and spoke about the vision of the Nagpur Book Club.
He said that the club is proud to be Nagpur’s best free platform for bibliophiles, where readers from all backgrounds can come together to discuss books, ideas, and literature.

One of the highlights of the meet was the Free Book Giveaway, where members donated more than 50 books for fellow readers.

Book lovers eagerly picked the titles they liked, and the giveaway table was empty in no time, proving once again that nothing excites readers more than free books.

Refreshments were served after the meet, generously sponsored by VR Mall.

Nagpur Book Club would like to thank all the book lovers who attended the session and made it such a success.

We also extend a special thank you to Mr. Avinash from VR Mall for his warm support and for arranging such a beautiful venue for the Literature Meet.

Dates for the next book meet will be announced soon. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram to stay updated and to be part of Nagpur’s growing community of readers.
