The idea to engage children in good books that represent Indian cultural and moral values as well as physical games and fun activities."

Mr. Kishore Lal, Chairman, Children's Book Trust says, "We need to help Children to stay away from screens of portable electronic devices and come back to reading good books. Books usually generate a deeper spirit of enquiry in young minds and a healthy, progressive outlook to life and living." He continued to add, "We have had our presence internationally through our books which we sell in many countries, with the coming up of our SICC, we would like to have them here physically. We are a non-profit trust and our aim is not to make huge profits but to spread awareness about the benefits of growing up with good books."
