Bollywood actor
Pankaj Tripathi
, who is known for his exceptional acting skills, has inaugurated a new library in his village in honour of his late father
Pandit Banaras Tiwari
. The library is built in the
Higher Secondary School in Belsand

In an act of giving back to society, Pankaj Tripathi and his elder brother took the initiative of renovating the school– a work which was undertaken by their

The school’s renovation project also included getting eco-friendly solar energy panels fitted for uninterrupted power supply. Apart from this, a fully equipped library was also constructed inside the school premises.
“In dedicating this library to the cherished memory of my father, Pandit Banaras Tiwari, I hope to instill a lifelong love for knowledge and literature in the hearts of the students of
Belsand
, Gopalganj. Education is the greatest gift we can give to our future generations, and it is my honor to contribute to their journey of learning,” Pankaj Tripathi said in a statement.
