This is a story of how Kitaab Mahal came into being in a colony in Mumbai. This resettlement colony was built to house thousands of slum dwellers who were displaced. In the age of all things digital, the children in this colony warmed up to the idea of being surrounded by books and friends where they could interact with each other and also learn something new.

Schoolbooks offer important insights on a large number of aspects of our social existence. However, there are no repositories to maintain and preserve them. The Azim Premji University has now launched an open access online repository that offers a wide- ranging collection of printed teaching and learning materials developed and used in India and the sub-continent.

Today we are still in the midst of a global pandemic but we are also ready to slowly start living our lives. Schools across the country have slowly started to reopen, testing the waters.
