Donate your books

he Hindu and Aviva invite you to help build the world's biggest wall of books – ‘Aviva Great Wall of Education'

Education is one of the most important factors that will determine the growth of India, and its transition from a developing to a developed county. However, looking at the current statistics on education in India, one can say that the task is enormous. There are 200 million children in the age group of six to14 years in India, of whom 59 million children are not attending school.

Aviva launched a mega initiative called ‘The Aviva Great Wall of Education' in 2009 in order to generate awareness about the cause of education. The Hindu is wholly committed to education for all and would like to do its bit towards this cause. The Hindu's Newspaper in Education (NIE) programme stands testimony to this.

This year, The Hindu presents the ‘Aviva Great Wall of Education' in Chennai with Aviva Life Insurance. Come to the Express Avenue mall in Royapettah from September 5 to 9 to donate books to the Aviva Great Wall of Education. In addition to this, dropboxes are being placed in 300 NIE schools across Chennai.
