Quotes “On the whole, it was wonderful to see small kids smiling and reading a book.The triumph is made not when a kid reads a book but when he actually picksit up on his own. This is the first step towards encouraging them to read.It was even more wonderful for me to see girls coming and reading books” Anjana Badrinarayanan “ having Anjana as the Asha steward for this project is the best thing which has happened. Her perspectives are fresh and valuable. She sat and integrated with the children ..talked to them... all very quietly and with minimum fuss.Truly lucky to have her with us ” Asha Sanjay, n-logue Inc "I am now totally convinced that we will not only reach all villages, but this doubling of per-capita Rural GDP is very much a achievable target in next 10 years.
