The Pratichi Trust, in association with Child Rights and You (CRY) and the District Primary Schools Council of Birbhum, organised a series of experimental book-reading festivals to enable primary school children acquire the exhilarating feel of spending an entire day ensconced in the enchanting world of books that were fun, filled with colourful pictures, stimulated their curiosity and brought them joy instead of worry and fear. This report records how the 17 reading festivals that reached out to a total of 825 students – 403 girls and 422 boys – in 51 primary schools of eight gram panchayats spread across six blocks of Birbhum helped in enriching the delivery of primary education in the district.
