23rd May 2026, Noida, UP: Alakh Pandey popularly known as PhysicsWallah or Alakh Sir, has set up a Free digital library at Sant Vinova School in Vaidpura Village, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, as a step towards transforming access to quality education in rural communities. Established in his personal capacity, to support students preparing for competitive examinations, including engineering, medical, and other Exam-wise, students who want to study can access both books and online courses that are available. Following the support, the facility has been equipped with over 30 laptops, over a thousand books, specialised VR headsets that utilise AR and VR content to simplify complex scientific theories for students, with a curriculum featuring interactive games and immersive simulations, particularly for complex subjects like human anatomy and space science, making abstract concepts tangible and engaging.
The digital library also provides students with free access to PW’s online educational content and study resources, enabling learners from the village to prepare for competitive exams without financial or connectivity barriers. The facility will remain open daily from 8 AM to 8 PM, and any student from the village can access the library free of cost.
Speaking at the inauguration of the Digital Library, Alakh Sir said, “I believe that every student deserves a fair shot at success, regardless of whether they have a good internet connection or a computer at home. By setting up this digital library, I want to make sure these students have everything they need to study. It’s my personal goal to bring technology and books directly to them so they can dream big and achieve their goals. In the future, I want to open more Free digital libraries across India.”
The initiative reflects an effort to strengthen grassroots education by creating accessible learning spaces for students in underserved regions. This digital library at Vaidpura is envisioned as a replicable model for rural education access across the country, one that holistically bridges gaps in exposure, connectivity, infrastructure, and resources, and demonstrates that a single individual, driven by the right intent, can potentially become a turning point for an entire generation of students regardless of their background.
