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.
