Missed Call Do, Kahaani Suno: B’luru publishing house

Bengaluru, Nov 6 : With schools remaining closed for nearly seven months due to Covid-19 pandemic, Bengaluru-based not-for-profit Children Book publishing house ‘Pratham Books’ has relaunched its famous “Missed Call Do, Kahaani Suno!” programme.
With the help of Cognizant Foundation’s support the education programme will enable access to quality education to the students from underserved communities. The foundation has adopted Scholarship for higher education, Digital learning, STEM and Vocational Technical education as its focus areas in Education.
“Missed Call Do, Kahaani Suno” programme is aimed to help children to listen to delightful stories in Kannada, English, Marathi and Hindi languages.
Speaking to IANS, Pratham Book’s Priya Desai said that listeners can give a missed call — which is for free — and receive a call-back, where they can select the language of their choice and the age group of the child, and then listen to an audio story.
“They can even call again and listen to new stories every time! There are hundreds of audio stories that children can enjoy listening to, as schools remain closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic,” Desai added.
“Two stories of four to six minutes each will be played to entertain you. That’s what ‘Missed Call Do, Kahaani Suno’ is all about,” she explained.
