How we will utilise these books

We have an active reading program where children from Class 2 to 12, are using our libraries set up in our rural schools. Every week the child will spend an hour in the library in the assigned period and read a book related to subject or a general topic, which helps the child get a better understanding about the subject and also improve the language. The scope of this is sought to be enlarged by increasing the number of books in each class library in all the schools. It will help the children develop their reading, comprehension and interest in reading. General knowledge will improve and their dependence on TV for entertainment will reduce giving rise to better learning and development of the mind. Our children come from villages and most of them are attending the school for first time in their generation. Their parents are either illiterate or dropped out of school, which is creating a hardship amongst the children to study well and inculcate reading habits. While they have access to read something in vernacular language they hardly get to read English books. These books will be used in the regular class along with the government textbooks.
