Dear Friends and Partners,
Warm greetings from Katha. We complete 22 years of work in story and storytelling this year. And we could not have done it without you!.
My world makes me smile
Started in1988 with Tamasha! the magazine for children on the road to literacy, we were formally registered on September 8, 1989 — serendipitously World Literacy Day!
Katha is a unique model that seamlessly connects grassroots work in story, education and urban resurgence. We started with the main objective: To enhance the joy of reading. But for children to read well, we need many things to happen at the same time. And making all this happen is the story of Katha!
Today we are a committed and joyful team of 290 people. We steadfastly do a lot of things to keep children in school and learning! The 8,000,000 figure comes from a conservative calculation of verifiable statistics.
she sets the tone and culture of Katha!
Since 1990, we’ve driven our learning model on a single powerful idea: Children can bring change that is sustainable and real. At the other end of the literacy and literature spectrum, Katha is a quality publishing house for translations from our regional languages, our bhashas. Our children’s books are recognized in India and abroad.
We are a “profit for all” social organization.
This September, we at Katha, wish you, co-travellers on the road to equity and social solidarity for all children, all creativity and cooperation, confidence and critical thinking to start the new literacy year for our children, our country.
We had a great celebration on 8 September, 2010. Please see brief report here!
