In a major push towards digital education, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal inaugurated a modern e-digital library in Benaulim, Goa, aimed at expanding access to quality learning resources for students across the constituency.
The newly established facility has been designed to promote technology-driven education and provide students with comprehensive academic support. Equipped with more than 10,000 digital books, the e-library will also assist learners preparing for competitive examinations such as JEE, NEET and CLAT. In addition, the project incorporates green school elements to encourage environmentally sustainable learning practices.
Addressing the gathering, Kejriwal expressed appreciation for the initiative led by Venzy Viegas, the sitting MLA of Benaulim. He said the project would directly benefit students from multiple schools in the region and serve as a model for modern educational infrastructure.
According to Kejriwal, five schools in the constituency have already been onboarded, and efforts are underway to extend the facility to all eight schools in Benaulim. Once fully implemented, nearly 4,500 students are expected to gain access to the digital library services.

He also highlighted the growing financial burden of education on families, noting that the rising cost of textbooks affects not only economically weaker sections but middle-class households as well. The e-digital library seeks to ease this challenge by offering free access to NCERT textbooks from Classes 1 to 10, along with a vast collection of reference materials and supplementary reading resources.
The initiative is anticipated to strengthen digital learning infrastructure in Goa while ensuring that students have equitable access to essential academic content and competitive exam preparation tools.
