Additionally, toys and colouring books will be provided to encourage early learning – all free of cost.

The Manram, in their press release, stated that they are also accepting donations – monetary and kind (child-friendly toys or books in good condition). Readers are also encouraged to spread the word to families who may benefit from this initiative. The Manram is located at No.3, 11th Cross Street, Sastri Nagar.
