The Tata Trusts, comprising Sir Ratan Tata Trust & Allied Trusts and Sir Dorabji Tata Trust & Allied Trusts are amongst the oldest philanthropic foundations in the country. The Trusts support institutions and initiatives engaged in developmental and creative endeavours. Through their grant making, the Trusts promote development action and knowledge building in various fields. In Education, the Trusts are focusing on facilitating systemic reform and strengthening elementary education as a field of study. The Trusts recognize that there is scarcity of age-appropriate reading material for children in various Indian languages. Identifying this need, the Trusts launched the publication initiative, Parag, in 2005.

Parag aims at:

• Development and publication of children’s literature and educational material in various Indian languages.

• Creating channels for dissemination.• Facilitating the development of a

platform for sharing among key stakeholders.

• Developing children’s literature as a field through creating resource material, promoting research and deliberations.

• Promoting reading amongst children and educators.

The initiative has, over the years, forged relationships with some key partners, resulting in high quality published material. A few of these key partners are listed below:

Eklavya, [email protected]

Pratham Books, [email protected] Action Research in Community Health & Development (ARCH), [email protected]

This catalogue provides an overview of various kinds of books, published since 2005, their central themes and ideas.

The books are categorized according to age groups and genres. However, the categorization is suggestive and their most effective usage lies in the hands of readers/story tellers/educators/parents. Books marked for ages 6+ can be well read aloud to young children, while Teachers’ Resource books can be read by teens. Books are listed under one category to avoid duplication.

This annotated catalogue lists the books published by the Trusts’ partners, under the following categories.

a) Picture Books b) Poemsc) Young Readersd) Activity Books e) Teachers’ Resource Books

Title of books indicate languages in which the book is available. If a book is available in multiple languages, the same is mentioned.

With the number of books being developed increasing, the catalogue would be periodically updated; further, an online version would also be developed.
