Towards A Literary Bliss

“Reading is the gateway skill that makes all other learning possible”

-Barack Obama

पुस्तकें जीवन का आधार

एक सुसंस्कृत और सभ्य समाज के निर्माण में पठन-पाठन और स्वाध्याय बहुत जरूरी है। इसके बिना मनुष्य जड़़वत् होता है। ज्ञान और शिक्षा के प्रसार के लिए पुस्तक और पुस्तकालय का महत्व सर्वविदित है क्योंकि ये ना सिर्फ ज्ञान बल्कि इतिहास के भी संरक्षक हैं। पुस्तकालय ज्ञान को सुरक्षित रखते हैं ताकि कुछ भी खो ना जाए ,ज्ञान को प्राप्य बनाते हैं ताकि कोई वंचित ना रहे।
आज जब हमारा जीवन ना जाने कितने अंधेरों से घिरा है, ऐसे में उजाले की जीत के लिए जरूरी है कि हम ‘ज्योति से ज्योति’ जलाने का अर्थ और मर्म समझें । मेरे लिए यह गर्व का विषय है कि भारतीय विद्या भवन विद्याश्रम, के. एम .मुंशी मार्ग, जयपुर ,इस मर्म को समझ कर नित नवीन और मौलिक प्रयास करता रहा है । विद्यालय के रूप में सामाजिक जिम्मेदारी के प्रति हमेशा सजग रहा है।
मुझे यह जानकर अत्यंत प्रसन्नता का अनुभव हो रहा है कि इसी कड़ी में भारतीय विद्या भवन विद्याश्रम, जयपुर अपने पुस्तकालय की वेबसाइट http://bvbjaipurkmlibrary.org आरंभ कर रहा है। आशा करता हूँ इस वेबसाइट के माध्यम से निश्चित रूप से हर ज्ञान -पिपासु लाभ उठा पाएगा। मैं, भारतीय विद्या भवन विद्याश्रम परिवार को अपनी शुभकामनाएँ प्रेषित करता हूँ ।इस वेबसाइट से सम्बद्ध मार्ग-दर्शक और समस्त कर्मियों को हार्दिक बधाई देता हूँ ।मुझे पूरी उम्मीद है कि भविष्य में भी भारतीय विद्या भवन विद्याश्रम, के.एम. मुंशी मार्ग, जयपुर शिक्षा और व्यक्तित्व निर्माण में इसी तरह महत्वपूर्ण और अग्रणी भूमिका निभाता रहेगा।

बौद्धिक विकास का द्वार पुस्तकालय

पुस्तकालय केवल विद्यार्थियों के लिए ही नहीं बल्कि समाज के प्रत्येक ज्ञान प्राप्त करने के इच्छुक व्यक्ति के लिए आवश्यक है। यह ना सिर्फ विकास का साधन बल्कि ऐसा समृद्ध झरना है, जो शिक्षा एवं संस्कृति के विस्तृत क्षेत्र का सिंचन करता है। बौद्धिक विकास के साथ-साथ रचनात्मक तथा सृजनात्मक कार्यों के लिए भी प्रेरित करता है। समाज के सर्वांगीण विकास में इसकी भूमिका संजीवनी बूटी सी ही रही है।
अत्यंत हर्ष का विषय है कि भारतीय विद्या भवन विद्याश्रम ,के. एम .मुंशी मार्ग, जयपुर अपने पुस्तकालय की वेबसाइट http://bvbjaipurkmlibrary.org को आरंभ करने के साथ सफलता की एक और नई ऊंचाई छूने जा रहा है ।इस मौलिक प्रयास के लिए विद्यालय का कुशल नेतृत्व , समस्त स्टाफ और वेबसाइट के कार्य को मूर्त रूप देने वाले सम्बद्ध सभी लोग बधाई के पात्र हैं। मैं, विद्यालय पुस्तकालय के अकूत भंडार और वृहद संकलन को देखकर रोमांचित हूँ कि इस नवीन वेबसाइट के माध्यम से विद्यालय की इस अनमोल धरोहर से अब मेरा भी साक्षात्कार हो पाएगा।ज्ञानार्जन के लिए उम्र की कोई सीमा नहीं होती है। आज की विषम परिस्थिति और व्यस्त जीवन में हर व्यक्ति के लिए पुस्तकालय तक पहुँच पाना संभव नहीं है और ना ही प्रत्येक विधा की पुस्तकें सुविधा से उपलब्ध हो पाती हैं। ऐसे में भारतीय विद्या भवन विद्याश्रम, के. एम. मुंशी मार्ग, जयपुर ने अपने पुस्तकालय के अनमोल संग्रह को वेबसाइट के माध्यम से जनमानस तक पहुंचाने का जो काम किया है वह सचमुच ही सराहनीय है ।मुझे आशा है कि ज्यादा से ज्यादा लोग इससे लाभ उठा सकेंगे।
मैं विद्यालय प्रबंधन की ओर से आश्वस्त कराना चाहता हूं कि भारतीय विद्या भवन विद्याश्रम, के.एम. मुंशी मार्ग ,जयपुर के पुस्तकों के इस कोष में नित -निरंतर वृद्धि होती रहेगी,इस पुनीत कार्य में नित -निरंतर प्रगति होती रहेगी ।
पुन: पुस्तकालय वेबसाइट के शुभारंभ में, विद्यालय परिवार को हार्दिक बधाई एवं शुभकामनाएं ।
