Who we are
बस्तर जिला प्रशासन का उद्देश्य बस्तर, छत्तीसगढ़ की ग्रामीण और जनजातीय समुदायों का विकास और कल्याण करना है। हम सतत विकास, शिक्षा, स्वास्थ्य और सामाजिक कल्याण पर ध्यान केंद्रित करते हुए सरकारी नीतियों को लागू कर रहे हैं। इस क्षेत्र में, जहां संघर्ष के बावजूद लोग दृढ़ता से खड़े हैं, कई बच्चे पढ़ने की खुशी की तलाश में हैं। इस पहल का नेतृत्व पब्लिक पॉलिसी इन एक्शन (PPiA) फैलो कर रहे हैं, जिनमें से एक बस्तर से है, जो स्थानीय नेतृत्व को बढ़ावा देने की हमारी प्रतिबद्धता को दर्शाता है।
The Bastar District Administration is committed to promoting the development and well-being of the rural and tribal communities in Bastar, Chhattisgarh. Our mission focuses on implementing government policies and programs aimed at sustainable development, education, health, and social welfare. In this formerly conflict-impacted region, where nature's beauty meets the resilience of its people, countless children long for the joy of reading. This initiative is being anchored by Public Policy in Action (PPiA) Fellows, one of whom is from Bastar, reflecting our commitment to nurturing local leadership and community engagement.
Bastar is home to 1,526 primary schools, and enhancing access to age-appropriate reading materials is crucial for supporting children's educational progress. Our efforts align with national objectives like the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which emphasise equitable access to quality education. By partnering with local communities, NGOs, and educational institutions, we aim to improve access to essential services—especially in education, a key driver of empowerment and social upliftment.
Our work and its impact
हमारा यह दान (डोनेशन) अभियान पुस्तकों की शक्ति से जीवन बदलने का प्रयास करता है। "पढ़ने के लिए सीखना; सीखने के लिए पढ़ना" के मंत्र के तहत, हम प्रथम बुक्स के साथ मिलकर 100,000 कहानी पुस्तकें वितरित करने और 10 कहानी पुस्तकालय स्थापित करने का लक्ष्य रखते हैं। यह अभियान विशेष रूप से बस्तर के आदिवासी बच्चों के लिए बहुभाषी और सांस्कृतिक रूप से प्रासंगिक कहानियों द्वारा शिक्षा प्रदान करेगा।
यह पहल NIPUN भारत मिशन के लक्ष्य के साथ मेल खाती है, जिसका उद्देश्य 2026 तक सभी बच्चों के लिए बुनियादी साक्षरता सुनिश्चित करना है। हम बच्चों को आवश्यक कौशल देकर उन्हें उनके समुदायों में सक्रिय भागीदारी के लिए सशक्त बनाना चाहते हैं।
Our campaign seeks to transform lives through the power of books, fostering a culture of literacy under the mantra "learning to read; reading to learn." By partnering with Pratham Books, we aim to distribute 100,000 books, establishing classroom libraries and providing multilingual and culturally relevant education specifically tailored to indigenous and tribal children in Bastar.
This initiative aligns with the NIPUN Bharat Mission’s goal of ensuring foundational literacy and numeracy for all children by 2026. By equipping young learners with essential skills, we aim to foster language acquisition, broaden educational and employment opportunities, and empower children to actively participate in their communities and civic life.
By offering diverse books in multiple languages, we can help them connect with their heritage while developing essential reading skills. Many rural and tribal children still find the dream of exploring new worlds through books unreachable. Your support can bridge this gap, allowing these children to read independently and cultivate creativity and critical thinking.
Join us in this mission—your contribution can transform lives, one book at a time.
How we will utilise these books
जुटाए गई राशि से कहानी पुस्तकें की खरीद की जायेगी। यह पुस्तकें बस्तर के स्कूलों में वितरित की जाएंगी। ये कहानी पुस्तकें छात्रों और शिक्षकों दोनों के लिए मूल्यवान संसाधन बनेंगी, पढ़ने के आनंद के साथ साथ साक्षरता को बढ़ावा देंगी और आजीवन सीखने की आदतों को विकसित करेंगी। इसके अलावा, हम स्वयं सहायता समूहों (SHGs) और पंचायतों के साथ मिलकर काम करेंगे ताकि किताबें और कहानियां पढ़ने की आदत/संस्कृति को बढ़ावा दिया जा सके।
यह पहल लगभग 150,000 बच्चों को प्रभावित करेगी, उन्हें आत्मविश्वास से भविष्य की ओर बढ़ने में मदद करेगी। आइए मिलकर बस्तर में मज़ेदार कहानियों से शिक्षा की रोशनी फैलाएं!
The funds raised through this campaign will be used to procure storybooks from Pratham Books and distributed across primary schools in Bastar, enriching classroom resources and fostering a love for reading among students. These materials will serve as valuable tools for both students and teachers, supporting literacy development, promoting critical thinking, and cultivating lifelong learning habits. Additionally, the books will be incorporated into community reading programs and local libraries, ensuring that children from all backgrounds have access to quality educational resources.
Given the increasing participation of thousands of women in Self-Help Groups (SHGs), we will empower SHG members to lead reading sessions, involving families in their children's learning journeys. We also plan to collaborate with Panchayati Raj Institutions through Baal Sabhas at Gram Panchayats to extend the reach of these reading programs and strengthen local governance structures.
This initiative will impact approximately 150,000 children, helping them develop the skills needed to navigate their futures with confidence. Beyond the classroom, we aim to foster a culture of learning that unites communities and encourages shared growth and collaboration across Bastar.
