Key Observations From the Pilot
Books became routine
Pustak Khidki has become an integral part of classroom routines.
Children read on their own
Children interact with books independently, enjoy illustrations and create their own stories, even before they can read fluently.
Teachers teach with stories
Teachers use ChikuPiku storybooks to introduce new concepts, such as scientists' stories for science learning.
Outputs. Engagement. Outcomes.
We separate what we deliver from how resources are used and what may change for children over time. Larger programmes include baseline and follow-up assessments designed with education specialists.

What Teachers and Partners Tell Us
पुस्तक खिडकी आम्ही वापरतो
पुस्तक खिडकी आम्ही अंगणवाडीमध्ये लावली आहे. मुलं चिकूपिकूची पुस्तकं हाताळतात, मुलांना खूप आवडतात. गोष्टी खूप छान आहेत.
We have put up the Pustak Khidki in our Anganwadi. Children handle ChikuPiku's books and love them. The stories are wonderful.
पुस्तक खिडकीमुळे वाचनाची सुरुवात
चिकूपिकू पुस्तक खिडकीमुळे मुलांना वाचनाची खरंच आवड निर्माण झाली आहे. आत्तापर्यंत खेड्यापाड्यातल्या अंगणवाड्यांमध्ये पुस्तकं मुलांना वाचण्यासाठी असावीत हा कन्सेप्टच नव्हता. पण पुस्तक खिडकीमुळे अंगणवाडी सेविका व पालकांमध्ये ही संकल्पना रुजली आहे. मुलेही खूप खुश आहेत.
Pustak Khidki has truly sparked a love of reading. Books for this age group in village Anganwadis weren't even a concept before; now the idea has taken root among sevikas and parents.
