Gender not a barrier

Stating that it is a privilege to be a woman, director of Bookworm, Sujata Noronha says that in spite of being a women she has been able to achieve great things in life and that gender was never something that stopped her from achieving a little extra.

With an aim to impart knowledge and inculcate the habit of reading among children and elders, Sujata with various Bookworm initiatives has been encouraging people to indulge into reading and writing. Her goal is to work towards making the community literate, and with this motive she has been planning various activities. She is a literacy educator with extensive experience in literacy instruction and children literature. In her career she has faced several ups and downs but this did not stop her from achieving her goal.  Sujata opens up about the difficulties she faced in her career, she says: “When I was with Bookworm it was difficult for us to look out for a team of youngsters who would be willing to help us. We found it really difficult to look out for dedicated volunteers who would join hands with me in this. This was more of a challenge than anything else,” says Sujata. She hopes to continue working to spread literacy in the state.
