Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
In the early 20th century in India, public libraries were established, increasing readers' access to books. These libraries were usually found in urban areas, though occasionally, they were found in affluent communities. Setting up a library was a means for wealthy local patrons to gain exposure. Following the example of workers in Bombay, cotton mill workers in Bangalore built libraries pursuing their learning by the 1930s. These were sponsored by social reformers who tried to restrict excessive drinking among them, bring literacy and, sometimes, propagate the message of nationalism.
The correct statement would be that Bangalore cotton mill workers set up libraries in the 1930s.
