Our journey began with one volunteer and a magazine for children, Tamasha! In 1990, we started
the Katha Khazana experiment in one of the largest slum clusters of Delhi: To provide quality
education to children living there.
Today, with 108,000 children and work in 75 slum, street and tribal communities, Katha is making
dreams of children possible. Caring individuals like you have helped us in providing our children
the best education possible. A small donation of time and resources. Or just Rs. 250/month/child
in a community school or Rs 450/month/child in our Lab School. Write to: volunteer@katha.org
Support Services for Teachers and Librarians
Katha books focus on creativity in classroom and provide loads of ideas
for individual and group/team exercises. The Katha methodology is backed
by hands-on research and develops a lifelong ruchi or taste for reading in
children. Drawing from the vast storehouse of India’s narrative fiction, Katha
brings translations from 21 Indian languages, creating space for culturally
distinctive children’s literature and giving young minds diverse images and ideas.
Catalogues are great, but as a teacher/parent you would want to hold real books
before you order them. That’s why Katha offers a special School Display Service to
schools and libraries in Delhi. Talk to us on the topics or themes for the kind of books
you want and we’ll do a special book display at a time that suits you.
Katha can also provide the KREAD PITARA, a Curriculum Resource Box, with
multiple copies of particular books for use in class, or with a range of books specific
to a grade or topic. Also available are sets for primary school-goers learning Hindi.
We supply books and specialized teaching/learning modules for environmental science for
primary schools on invoice. Email your order with your school’s choices. Our terms are POD
for doorstep delivery.
Special discounts on multiple copy orders. Information, including prices, is subject to change
without notice.
