Gyanoday
We gave children a book of moral stories, Prerak Kahaniya, to help them grow into responsible and moral citizens.
Good stories make good citizens.
Gyanoday was our campaign to help children learn about moral values. We distributed copies of the book Prerak Kahaniya to children, so that they could read, reflect and be inspired to become responsible and moral citizens.
The campaign is complete. Its spirit lives on in our active campaigns, Dosti Kitabon Se and मेरा देश, मेरा कर्तव्य.
