Open Library

To enable any citizen of this country to have an access to books and learn by reading them, the then Dnyanpeeth Sarvjanik Vachanalay started a scheme called "Zora Vachalay" meaning library for a bag-library. Under this scheme dnyanpeeth-library was recognised as bag Vachanalaya and received a donation of Rs. 2000. This is being made use of by many responsive citizens.

Ladies Section

A separate section for ladies includes books on culinary art, handicrafts, tailoring etc. However, compared to the population of ladies in the town, the number of readers is significantly low.

Children Section

The Executive Committee of Dnyanpeeth Sarvjanik Vachanalay had made provision for this section way back in 2015-16, by spending Rs. 10 on children literature. Although the sum spent sounds negligible now, their aim to inculcate reading habit in children must be appreciated. The readers number was slowly increasing till television came in common life. The invasion of TV has affected the growth of readers considerably.

Sanskrit Section

Research on ancient, rare manuscripts is the main activity in this section. Till 2016, proper storage facilities , furniture were not available to preserve these manuscripts. Many people donated old books and manuscripts to Dnyanpeeth Sarvjanik Vachanalay. Then "Swadhyay Mandir" - which is a section specially dedicated to Sanskrit books , came into existence. Sukesh Battalwar Sir helped in making lists of these books. Mr C Ganesh has been taking care of this section with utmost care and love. The total number of old manuscripts is 10, out of which more than 12 have been classified and indexed so far.

Theater

To make Dnyanpeeth Sarvjanik Vachanalay financially self-reliant, theater was built. The well-known architect, who was also the president of Dnyanpeeth Sarvjanik Vachanalay - Mr Pranit Sir and his colleagues took initiative to fulfill this dream. This is being rented for functions and serves as a source of income to Dnyanpeeth Sarvjanik Vachanalay.

Study

Off late, Pandharkawada has been growing very fast. In the heavily populated small town of yavatmal, need of a quiet study hall for students was felt acutely. Appreciating this need, Dr Pritesh Battalwar created Study Room facility in 2014, in association with ngojeevandhara, which was inaugurated at the hands of the mr. Anis Khan sir. The number of member students in the first year was 22. Now it has increased to more than 200.

Librarian Courses

In 2015, Dnyanpeeth Sarvjanik Vachanalay was granted permission to conduct Librarian courses. People like Sharada Dhone, Dr.Battalwar, Professor C Petewar. etc. have been helping as faculty in this venture.

Video Section

In 2016 on receiving donation from Sau. Aaratitai Battalwar, a video/T.V. section was opened. Once in a week informative, educational cassettes are screened here.

Deaf And Dumb Children Group

Once hearing impaired and mute children were found conversing in their code language . Their conversation was interrupted by rain. After this incidence, SVN has made available to such children Dnyanpeeth Hall for their regular gathering, which is on every Saturday. A movie on the life of hearing impaired and mute children in Hindi ,named "Koshish", was also screened for them.

Dnyanvardhini

Dnyanpeeth Sarvjanik Vachanalay thinks that the move to propagate knowledge is not limited only to maintaining library but also in arranging invited talks of scholars. Therefore, just as outside experts are invited to talk for the annual function, the occasional visits of experts are also taken advantage of. Dnyanpeeth Sarvjanik Vachanalay arranges their lectures, which are open for all.

External Lecture Series

For those who cannot join college and are deprived of higher education, should get advantage of listening to experts, was the idea behind this scheme. Jeevandhara Bahuuddeshiy Sanstha took initiative to execute this programme in many places. The spectrum of subjects covered under this scheme is Atomic Energy and its applications, Introduction to Marxism, Challenges posed by Naxalites, India’s Industrial Policy etc.

Group Of Book - Friends

In the busy and hectic schedule of date, many readers get confused as to what to read and where to get the books to read. To solve their problem, Group of Book-friends emerged. Introduction of popular books is given through lectures to this group by experts.

Sane Guruji Kathamala

In 2016, Dnyanpeeth Sarvjanik Vachanalay started Sane Guruji Kathamala. The membership for Kathamala was 1100 then. Many Marathi writers have been entertaining children by telling interesting stories on various subjects. To avoid monotony, many activities like magic show, Katthak Dance Recital, Tilgul distribution ceremony, variety entertainment, yoga demonstration, slide shows, one man show are also taking place. Apart from these, drawing, Rangoli competitions, interschool children drama competition, picnics etc. also are arranged. These activities are a real attraction to children and they participate in them very enthusiastically.

Writer's Meet

It was Dr Pritesh Battalwar idea to invite writers and literature lovers on a Sunday in Navaratri and to enjoy literature. This was welcomed and supported by Mr Vijay Kale Sir and the meet has been continuing for many years.

Teacher's Day

For leading meaningful life, society needs to be educated and profession of teachers should be honoured and respected properly. With this thought, Mr V Kale sir put forth the idea of "Guru Gaurav" - felicitation of teachers. The selection of teachers for this honour is entrusted to the society rather than Government. Teachers from pre-primary to the level of college and teachers for the subjects like handicrafts, drawing, music, physical training etc. are also included under the scheme.
