Shubham Badhani, from Haldwani, Uttarakhand, holds degrees in B.Sc., D.El.Ed., M.A. Sociology, M.A. Education, and Library Education.

As a Library Educator in schools, he promotes book culture among mountain children. His Ghora Library initiative aims to provide millions of eager learners with the opportunity to read, fulfilling a dream of connecting them with the world through books.

The Ghora Library initiative utilizes horses to reach remote areas, providing access to books despite difficult terrains and weather conditions. Volunteers hang books on ropes attached to the horse, creating a mobile library that visits designated locations weekly. Children choose books and engage in activities like reading, singing, and small plays. The initiative fosters curiosity and learning while improving literacy levels and aiding in school studies. Ghora library classrooms at Jalana village enhance literacy and prepare students for competitive exams.
