| Project Description | My Library for a Better Me: Children choose books, children select from hundreds of powerful CMCA activity cards which build key Citizenship Values and Life Skills. The activity cards focus on self-development (resilience, goal setting, financial literacy, appreciation of arts and literature, etc.) and civic skills (gender equality, celebrating our composite culture, living in harmony with nature, working with the government to solve issues, and so on). The lives of thousands of children are undergoing a dramatic transformation thanks to the programme. CMCA hopes to run its programmes in more libraries in rural Karnataka and help transform the lives of hundreds more children. CMCA has been successfully running the My Library for a Better Me program since 2021 , In 2025 we reached out to 5500+ children through 85 libraries in rural Karnataka . The feedback from the Government as well as from parents has been tremendous. Clubs Programme: A CMCA Club comprises of a group of students from the 7th and 8th grade to spread awareness on democratic and civic issues. When a school signs up to this programme, the curriculum is delivered over a period of nine months at a weekly ‘CMCA Club period’ allotted by the school during its regular timetable. | |||||||||

| Impact | My Library for a Better Me: As a part of My Library for a Better Me of the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Department, Government of Karnataka, CMCA started My Library for a Better Me - a citizenship and life skills programme for children in 10 Panchayat libraries in Tumakuru and Ramanagara. Children enrol into the 3-year programme and visit libraries where trained CMCA mentors are available once a week to guide and inspire them. Children get to select from a range of activities on citizenship and life skills which they can take home and do. This is further strengthened by group activities that inspire community involvement. Children are guided to form collectives with the CMCA mentor called ‘Together for Change’ action projects and participate in collective action – identify issues in the community and solve them Clubs Programme: The Club programme was successfully conducted in 10 clubs of Mumbai schools. 344 children were impacted through our campaigns and activities of club programme. The students clubs programme participated in the Field trips, Beach Cleanup drive, Tata Mumbai Marathon, campaigns like Eco Ganesha, Celebrating My City Traffic Police, Thanks Giving Day, School Profile projects | |||||||||
