History
History
The first acquisitions for what was later to become the Madan Puraskar Pustakalaya were made in the mid-1940s by a Kathmandu schoolboy, Kamal Mani Dixit, with pennies that came from his lunch allowance. As the personal collection grew, it attracted gifts in kind from several important literary personalities, statesmen and scholars of Nepal and India. In 1956, the collection received an endowment from Chandra Shumsher JBR's daughter-in-law Rani Jagadamba Kumari Devi. Madan Puraskar Pustakalaya was officially registered in 1985, under Organizations Registration Act of 1977 of Nepal naming it after late Gen. Madan Shumsher JBR son of Chandra Shumsher JBR and husband of Jagadamba Kumari Devi. Kamal Mani Dixit, the founder of the library, was the chairman of the library until his death.
