Foundational Literacy, Regional Languages & Children’s Literature

In India, cricket is not just a sport, it’s an emotion. People are either glued to their television sets or are seen in a gully playing a match with their friends. But what if cricket wasn’t just about playing a game, but that taught you how to be a better at life?

Tata Trusts’ Kal Ka Classroom talks about their initiatives that work towards improving the Indian education system. In this episode, we learn about the ‘Life Through Cricket’ initiative that taught underprivileged children from Mumbai who barely attended school and didn’t care about their education, and made them confident, focused, and responsible young adults.
