Hi

A very nice effort to cultivate reading habit amongst children , but don't you think the government intervention can ruin the essence of this whole project........

...It's very nice information and efforts made by NGO and if it get the supports of Government in terms of finance and infrastructure  then not only in these states but it can be developed this thing across the nation and for needy countries also...my i m supporting to NGO and requesting to Govt. Please support to NGO..
