The program has been highly successful and deeply appreciated by all - students, principals, teachers as well as educational authorities. Reading fluency and critical thinking outcomes show improvements ranging from 50 to 80 percent over a 3 year period.
Anandaya has set up over 450 libraries in 8 states. Over 200,000 children and 2,500 teachers have benefitted from it.
