"Henny Penny"

Henny Penny, also known as Chicken Licken or Chicken Little, is a fable in the form of a cumulative tale about a chicken who believes the world is coming to an end. The phrase, "the sky is falling" features prominently in the story. The messages communicated are not only to persevere with a cause but also that rarely is everything as bad as it seems. Henry Penny wanted to spread the message to everyone as we will attempt to do with Henny Penny Libraries.

Henny Penny Library 34

Henny Penny Library No 34. The project Sshrishti CRN is designed  for the community living in five villages of rural Kumaon. The 950 families living in these villages of the watershed belong mostly to the SC/ST communities.  The community suffers from low level of education lack of opportunities for income generation and scarcity of water. Although there are  primary schools and few secondary schools, the children have no knowledge of computers and other resources which are a part of modern education system. They consequently suffer from a lack of knowledge.This is the second of the three resource centres covering five villages to bring digital literacy and library within easy reach of the children in these villages.
