Books For All

Some reports claim that kids who read 20 minutes a day, score in the 90th percentile on standardized tests. Many such report emphasize the importance of developing the habit of reading. However, 2 million kids in India cannot afford to own a book, average price for which is Rs. 30 (that’s less than the parking fee we pay in a mall every weekend). Further, even the kids who get access to books through school libraries or other sources do not have an effective teacher/mentor to evoke their interest in reading. Books For All - a social initiative aims to provide books to all kids in an 'assisted reading' environment in order to inculcate the habit of reading in them.
