Lovely! Kolkata’s oldest bookshop opens a free library on College Street. “Education is a basic right & crucial in the development of our nation. This free library is a way of making knowledge & education more accessible to society.” - Arabinda Dasgupta. thehindu.com/news/national/…

Uma what a lovely article and obviously must be a great book. @readingkafka i have realised that it’s so tough to do what he has been doing and this story reminds me that it is possible to be at it and keep doing it.

Sweet! Kids in the rural public libraries making Teachers’ Day greetings for their teachers. Making things together, sharing ideas. 🌷🌿📚📖#publiclibraries #teachersday
“Better than a thousand days of study is one day with a great teacher,” says a Japanese proverb. On Teachers’ Day, reposting my review of Perumal Murugan’s book of essays about his students.
Uma Mahadevan Dasgupta retweeted
#Books | #PerumalMurugan’s essays in Students Etched in Memory document how a group of first-generation learners in rural #TamilNadu defy odds, and how dedicated teachers make it possible. Review by @readingkafka. frontline.thehindu.com/books/perumal-… @PenguinIndia
“What is more important in a library than anything else – than everything else – is the fact that it exists.” - Archibald MacLeish #publiclibrariesforall
Improving children’s education requires more than fragmented fixes. Real progress needs a comprehensive strategy with curriculum reform, teacher empowerment, decentralisation. On Teachers’ Day, my review of Yamini Aiyar’s book. theindiaforum.in/book-reviews/c…
