The handover of well -read and beloved books to others is something that many still do, especially students. In an effort to spread the love of reading and books, Padma Priya Srinivasan aka Chennai Tamizhachi launched a campaign of books called Puthaga Vishai.
It seems that videos about the collection units had an impact and several teachers have enrolled to give their collection of books. In many cases, students applied for a specific subject book, and several schools have also been interested in taking well spoiled books for their libraries.
“I wanted to give laptops to children who couldn’t afford it. We started it as a little effort and didn’t realize that so many people would sign up to give their books for this thing, and most of them were well maintained. One lady gave a very expensive story book for children.
She explained that once more books came, she plans to create small groups of children who will be read as a hobby. “We will organize regular sessions of reading books where young people can come and listen to stories and like reading.”
