About BREAD Society in Plot No. 1300A, Road No. 66, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad

In a world that is increasingly mourning the decline of the reading habit in children, a group of responsible, pragmatic, committed and visionary citizens is changing the way little minds are shaped in India’s government schools.

These are schools, mind you, that have none of the modern accessories and technological tools that private schools have; these are schools where the teachers aren’t in enough numbers, the paint on the walls is chipping away, and the toilets mostly are clogged and in many cases absent. And these are children who do not have the luxuries of an air-conditioned library stocked with the Encyclopaedia Britannica, leave alone access to hi-tech learning aids like iPads and PCs.

BREAD Society, a voluntary organization that has been working for the cause of poor children’s education for 25 years, has now taken up the cause of funding children’s libraries in government schools across composite Andhra Pradesh. These are people who themselves studied in government schools, and over the past few decades, have done very impressive work in tapping the potential of poor students and rejuvenating education in public schools.
