Usha Raman
We have reached the end of a long chapter, as we bring to you this last print edition of Teacher Plus. Just as stories have leapt off the printed pages of books and now reach us in many different ways, Teacher Plus too will come to you in a digital avatar.

Menaka Raman

For children’s author Menaka Raman, the best bit of writing books is that she gets to take them to schools and libraries and read to young children there.

It is through these interactions that Menaka finds out if she has touched a chord with her book.
