Centre For Learning Resources

“𝗜𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝘃𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗮 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱.”

This powerful African proverb comes to life through Centre for Learning Resources (CLR)’s work in Bhor Taluka, Pune over the past six months through the :“𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 : 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 - 𝗩𝗶𝗸𝗮𝘀 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗮 𝗦𝗮𝗵𝗯𝗵𝗮𝗴 𝗦𝗮𝗿𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗮.”

In collaboration with the 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗺 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘆𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗮𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗮, 𝗞𝗮𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗵𝗼𝗹, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗞𝗮𝗺𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗱𝗶, CLR recently organized a series of poster exhibitions aimed at strengthening awareness and collective action around early childhood development.

These exhibitions went beyond sharing information, they brought together key stakeholders to build a supportive ecosystem for children, including:
• Gram Panchayat representatives
• ASHA workers & Anganwadi sevikas
• Government health officials
• School teachers
• Parents, grandparents & caregivers

Through interactive posters, play-based learning demonstrations, and low-cost toy models, caregivers explored the importance of early stimulation, responsive caregiving, and learning through play.

It Focuses on enabling convergence - bringing together families, frontline systems, and local institutions to ensure that every child receives the care, stimulation, and opportunities they need in their formative years.

Because sustainable impact in early childhood development is only possible when communities are informed, engaged, and empowered.

This International Women’s Day, Centre for Learning Resources celebrates the girls and women in our children’s literature - characters who imagine, question, create, and lead.

Children’s literature has the power to shape how young minds see themselves and the world around them. By sharing stories that celebrate confident, thoughtful, and independent girls, we hope to inspire a generation that grows up believing in equality, empathy, and possibility.

Today, and every day, we celebrate the power of stories to nurture courage, curiosity, and leadership in every girl.

At our Shishuvan Day Centre in Lucknow, children welcomed Holi with a special Phoolon Wali Holi - playing with fragrant flower petals, dancing freely, and sharing a festive meal together.

The day became even more meaningful with the presence of volunteers from and the continued support of , who help us create safe, joyful spaces for young children to learn and grow.
Our celebration stretched beyond the classroom. We invited parents to join us - to sit with their children, and be part of the joy. Small Holi gifts were shared, and so were smiles and simple conversations. For a few hours, Shishuvan felt like a true community space where children and families celebrated side by side.

Shishuvan has always been a space of warmth and trust and this Holi, that spirit of togetherness simply grew stronger, as children and families celebrated side by side.

Wishing everyone a warm and safe Holi! 🌈🌼
