Kutumb currently operates two libraries-cum-resource centres under its Qissagadh Active Library programme, located in Savda Ghevra (Delhi) and Sector 7, Noida.
The Qissagadh Active Library uses arts-led library programming to strengthen students’ foundational literacy skills, while also providing a safe and inclusive space for independent reading, research, collaborative learning, and community events such as storytelling sessions. The programme aligns closely with the objectives of NEP 2020 and the foundational literacy benchmarks outlined under NIPUN Bharat.
Our curriculum is structured around four quarterly themes:
Students build language and comprehension skills through structured lessons using our curated library collection as part of the Qissebaaz Book Club. The book catalogue is organised into four literacy competency levels: Foundation, Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced, which allows learners to progress at their own pace.
In addition, students develop digital literacy through integrated computer-based learning. They use computers to research session topics, write book reviews, and undertake independent inquiry, strengthening both academic and practical skills.
The library is managed by a group of peer leaders. Peer leaders oversee library outreach efforts, organise daily read alouds and basic drama activities, take charge of library circulation, and conduct workshops.
