segments of society and enhancing the dissemination of knowledge.

With this move, the MBRF intends to elevate the knowledge of families by giving them well-

the art of dealing with day-to-day tasks, business dealings, and family dynamics. The packages
comprise 50,000 books from the MBRF, which will be distributed to 2500 families. The

thoughtfully selected books draw the interest of every family member by offering insightful
knowledge, widening their intellectual perspectives, and assisting them in laying the

groundwork for a home library.

unwavering dedication to constantly support and motivate members of society to gain

knowledge in a sustainable way, which improves their knowledge skills and allows them to stay

an educated generation that is capable of contributing to the growth of society, with a focus

on younger people, whom the country relies on for building a knowledge society. The initiative
