Creating channels for dissemination. Facilitate development of platform for sharing among key stakeholders. Developing children’s literature as a field through creating resource material, promoting research and deliberations. Promoting reading amongst children and educators. Some of the key partners of the Trusts under Parag, whose titles published from 2005 till date. Partnerships that are yet to result into publication of new titles are not captured in the current catalogue. Eklavya, Bhopal is a well-known educational organization that develops, field tests educational innovations, provides resource support, develops curricular material and publishes children’s literature and educational material in Hindi, English and Urdu.

The Trusts supported Anveshi for a project called ‘Different Tales’ that captured diverse lived experiences of children from rural and marginalized communities by publishing a selection of folk tales, songs, fictional and autobiographical narratives in Telugu, Malayalam and English. [email protected] www.anveshi.org In addition, the catalogue also includes four workbooks / instructional material published by Jyotsna Prakashan, Pune as part of its collaboration with two of the Trust’s partners – Pragat Shikshan Sanstha, Phaltan and Vanasthali Rural Development Centre, Pune. This catalogue will provide you an overview of various kinds of books, their central themes and ideas. The books are categorized according to age groups and genres. However, the categorization is suggestive and their most effective usage lies in the hands of readers/story tellers/educators/parents. Books marked for ages 6+ can be well read aloud to young children while Teachers’ Resource books can be read by teens. Books are listed under one category to avoid duplication. This annotated catalogue lists the books published by three of Trust’s partners, under the following categories. a) Picture Books b) Poems c) Young Readers d) Activity Books e) Teachers’ Resource Books Title of books indicate languages in which the book is available. If a book is available in multiple languages same is mentioned. More books are being developed with support from Parag and we hope to update the catalogue from time to time and also create an online version. We welcome your feedback!
