SMALL stacks of books in classroom corners in government schools in Uttarakhand are delighting children and winning the hearts of ordinary citizens.
Named Kona Kaksha Ka (Classroom Corner), the project is an initiative by Dhad, an NGO in Dehradun. “We started our mission in 2019 to improve access to reading in government schools. Anyone can, by contributing just `1,200 a year, set up a library corner in a primary school or an upper primary school or a secondary government school. Students can use the books during their spare time,” says Asha Dobhal of Dhad.
