"A Man Called Bapu: D-Day arrives"
Deccan Herald - January 31, 2008

It has been 60 years since Mahatma Gandhi passed away, and what better way to honour him than have a contest where children can think of happy ways to remember him, or emulate his ways - Gandhigiri, to be precise. The DHiE - Pratham Books ‘Bapu’ Contest aimed to do just that.

Students had to choose between two topics: A happy way to remember Gandhiji or An incident of Gandhigiri you’ve seen around you.

Entries for the two categories - Classes V, VI and VII were grouped together in one category, and Class VIII and IX the other — poured in by the dozen. These were then read thoroughly and distilled by the editorial team at Pratham Books. In the end, ten finalists from each category were chosen.

Today, Governor Rameshwar Thakur will release Pratham Books’ A Man Called Bapu by Subhadra Sen Gupta. All the finalists will be present at the launch.
