Pratham Books

A close-knit community, they have an incredible sense of pride in their tradition and culture.

The event happens every year around International Literacy Day, with an aim to spread the joy of books to underprivileged children.

This not-for-profit multilingual platform is not only putting a book in every child’s hand, it is also preserving rare and unique Indian languages that don't have a written script of their own !

Donate-a-book to Pratham so children in rural Bundelkhand and Karnataka can practice reading.

Pratham Books celebrated International Literacy Day in a unique way - by holding storytelling sessions for thousands of children across India. Read an account of one such session held by our friend and writer in Assam, and learn about the beautiful experience storytelling can be - both for the listener and the teller, while serving as an important educational aid.
