Who we are

Do you remember your school library—books lined up one after the other, signs of ‘Silence please’, and a librarian manning the fort? This is a common image one can see in schools, where the library is seen as a space where books are sacred and children are allowed free access to books.

Kalpakta is a humble initiative in the quiet district of Sirsi in Nagpur, Maharashtra, India. It is a children’s library with the motto of ‘Every child can learn’. We provide joyful books to children in the age group of 6 to 14 years. It is thus imperative to provide varied kinds of books like-picture books, stories, and bilingual books to these children. Through these books, children not only hone their language skills but a good reading habit also ensure their holistic development—critical thinking, emotional and creative development.

Kalpakta believes that every child, no matter where they come from is able to learn. Hence, this initiative is not only to productively engage children but also to inculcate skills that will assist their learning and development in their lives.
