Nandita Das, eminent actor, director and Chairperson, Children`s Film Society of
India.
“We have lost the habit of reading. Computers and TV have overtaken us. Reading
is such an experience that if children are given the exposure, they will certainly
like it. When I came to the library, I saw the children reading with such concentration.
Even the naughtiest children who might not be sitting still for ten minutes at home,
even they seemed to be reading with such concentration. It is our duty as well that
we encourage these children with their reading. And Bakul Library, which they have
started here, is a very good effort. They have made it so beautiful. There is a
child friendly atmosphere created here and the best part is that children participate
here, be it painting on paper or on the walls. They have made it their own and there
is a unique pleasure in this. I am really happy that these kinds of interests are
being encouraged.”
