India has always been a land of storytellers. Over the centuries, we have honed the fine art of telling the short story - be it in our epics, our mythologies, our folktales or in our more recent writings. Told by traditional Katha vachaks, village storytellers and one's favourite grandmother, we have all heard stories that have taught us our values, our morals, our culture. "Katha" or the narrative is a special legacy that continues to exist in our country as a rich and fascinating tradition, moving with grace and felicity from the oral traditions to the written texts, from the heard word to the read.

We at Katha endeavour to spread the joy of reading, knowing, and living amongst adults and children, the common reader and the neo-literate. Katha has striven to establish a code of excellence in all that it does, to enhance the quality of life in every project it has attempted.  

SARVODAYA: Our main campus is called Katha Sarvodaya. Our small beginnings were in A3 Sarvodaya Enclave, Sri Aurobindo Marg . This is where we returned in 1996. Hence Katha Sarvodaya.

And the serendipitous date our society was registered on World Literacy Day- 8 September, 1990 which has given direction and purpose.

We work with and through story to foster a culture-rich, more caring, sharing world.
