Empowering Schools with Libraries & Learning Spaces Access to books is access to knowledge! We are thrilled to share that Karunodaya Foundation has successfully trained teachers from 215 schools, equipping them with the skills to transform libraries into vibrant learning hubs. Moreover, 125 schools now have fully functional libraries, providing students with a rich learning environment that nurtures curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. This is more than just setting up bookshelves—it’s about creating a culture of reading and lifelong learning. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to explore the world through books, and this initiative is a step forward in making that vision a reality. A huge thanks to our dedicated team, teachers, and supporters who made this possible! We look forward to expanding this initiative further. Let’s build a future where every child has access to quality education! #KarunodayFoundation #EducationForAll #LibrarySetup #TeacherTraining #QualityEducation #EmpoweringSchools Asia Initiatives Shikshagraha Geeta Mehta Marianne Clyde Emma Gardephe Prashe Shah Nikunj Jhaveri Gautam Dutt Gowrish R Santosh More Bikash Kumar Saurav Kumar amit kumar Prakash KUMAR Divya Saxena Prem Verma Abhishek Shaw Vibha Kumari Vivek Kumar Ajit Kumar Gyan Kumar

In partnership with Asia Initiatives and DIET, our team has introduced library sessions to equip Pre-Service Teachers (PSTs) with the skills and knowledge needed to run effective school library programs. This initiative focuses on building a strong foundational understanding of children's libraries, practical library management, and activity planning skills for PSTs. By the end of this training, they will be prepared to transform school libraries into vibrant spaces where students can engage with books, explore new ideas, and strengthen their literacy skills. This initiative establishes a strong groundwork for long-term literacy development and active learning in government schools.
