New Delhi: National-award-winning actor Pankaj Tripathi inaugurated a brand-new library at the Higher Secondary School in his native place Belsand, Gopalganj. This heartfelt initiative is dedicated to the memory of his late father, Pandit Banaras Tiwari. 

Pankaj Tripathi had previously embarked on a mission to rejuvenate the school where he received his education. Alongside his elder brother, he undertook the endeavor through the Pandit Banaras Tiwari Foundation Trust, a trust established in honor of their beloved parents. 

The project encompassed a comprehensive upgrade of the school's infrastructure, which included the provision of electrical equipment and a fresh coat of paint for the premises. Pankaj Tripathi's dedication to sustainable development led to the installation of eco-friendly solar energy panels, ensuring the school's self-sufficiency in power supply and electricity. 

In addition to this, the actor’s love for literature and books prompted him to construct a fully equipped library within the school premises.  

The library's inauguration holds special significance as it coincides with Pankaj Tripathi's recent loss of his beloved father. In honoring his father's memory, Pankaj has provided a lasting gift to the school and its students, fostering a love for learning and literature that will endure through time. 

Pankaj Tripathi said, "In dedicating this library to the cherished memory of my father, Pandit Banaras Tiwari, I hope to instill a lifelong love for knowledge and literature in the hearts of the students of Belsand, Gopalganj. Education is the greatest gift we can give to our future generations, and it is my honor to contribute to their journey of learning.” 

Pankaj had also dedicated his National Award for his work in Mimi to his father, who passed away recently. 

“This is unfortunately a period of loss and grieving for me. If Babuji was around, he would have been really happy for me. When I first got the National award mention, he was very proud and pleased,” the actor had said in a statement. 

On the work front, Pankaj was recently seen in 'OMG 2', as Kanti Sharan Mudgal. He next has 'Fukrey 3', 'Main Atal Hoon', and 'Stree 2' in the pipeline.
