Karnataka's Gram Panchayat libraries are spearheading early literacy initiatives that are transforming children's engagement with reading. With the support of dedicated librarians and community workers, around 5,900 libraries have been revitalized, focusing on the joy of reading rather than traditional lessons. By incorporating children's home languages into early-reading resources, this initiative is promoting inclusivity and bridging the literacy gap for underprivileged children.
