Book launch of
“A man called Bapu”, Bangalore On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi's martyrdom, Pratham Books brought out a colourful book called 'A Man Called Bapu'. Ms.Rohini Nilekani, Chairperson of Pratham Books, presented the first copy to His Excellency Shri Rameshwar Thakur, Governor of Karnataka, at a function in Bangalore's prestigious Raj Bhavan. Children read out interesting passages from the book in Kannada and English giving the audience a flavour of the book. The highlight of the afternoon was the prize distribution by the Governor. Over 300 students from government and private schools participated in a writing contest conducted jointly by Deccan Herald, Akshara Foundation and Pratham Books. All the prize winners, in the English, Kannada and Urdu categories received gifts. All finalists received consolation prizes too. The Governor spoke about his meetings with Gandhiji during the Quit India movement. Congratulating the Pratham Books team for bringing out a book on Bapuji which was child-centric, he said, "What children like to read is what made the Mahatma do the great things he did." - Click to view Event Pictures |
