CHILDREN’S BOOK TRUST

CBT is now in the 60th year of its establishment. These golden years haveseen a marked progression not only in terms of creative ideas, themes and factualaccounts, but in their presentation, production and visual interpretations as well.From playful animal fantasies that were published as Panchatantra tales, or theretold folktales that even today make perennial favourites, CBT gradually steeredits energies towards reality issues like teenage problems, scientific andtechnological advances, school and sports dilemmas, contributions of eminent menand women in India’s progress, the changing mindset of ordinary people and theevolution of their thought. The efforts made in newer genres, it is hoped, willgenerate a deeper spirit of enquiry in young minds and a healthy, progressiveoutlook to life and living.

In such ways, therefore, CBT has steadily built for its readers a vaststorehouse of literature which, if followed systematically and chronologically,reveals the pace of development of children’s literature—from the time when therewas nothing for children to call their own, to the present times which are altogethercompetitive and challenging. “If only the best is good enough for children,” CBTshall continue to strive to achieve even greater heights to match India’s currentstatus as ‘an aspiring and happening nation’.

K. SHANKAR PILLAI(July 31, 1902–December 26, 1989)

Keshav Shankar Pillai, known as SHANKAR, was India’s most celebratedcartoonist.

He was born on July 31, 1902, in Kayamkulam, in Kerala. After graduatingfrom Maharaja’s College of Science, Trivandrum, in 1927, he went to Bombayto join the Law College but soon took to cartooning as a hobby. His drawingson political personalities and the national events attracted attention. He joined‘The Hindustan Times’ in 1932 and continued as a staff cartoonist till 1946.

Shankar began publishing the ‘Shankar’s Weekly’ in 1948. It abounded inhealthy, sparkling humour. Shankar closed down the Weekly in August 1975,and concentrated on developing the different facets of Children’s Book Trust(CBT), which he founded in 1957.

Perhaps, one of the most decorated men in India, Shankar was the recipientof several awards including the Padma Shri (1956), the Padma Bhushan(1966), and the Padma Vibhushan (1977).

Shankar passed away on December 26, 1989.

The House That Shankar Built

Pioneer publishers of children’s books in India, theobjective of CBT has been to promote the production ofwell-written, well-illustrated and well-designed books forchildren. These include fiction and non-fiction, folkloreand fantasy, adventure, history, heritage and culture,information, science fiction, natural history, humour,apart from a variety of attractive picture books.

The Trust has to its credit over 1,000 titles. Apart fromoriginal titles in English and Hindi, CBT has publishedbooks in Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada,Malayalam, Marathi, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu.Select CBT titles have also been rendered into Mundariand Tibetan language for local distribution.

The price of the books is kept down to the minimumpossible to reach the Indian child.

Books apart, the Trust brings out a monthly magazinein English for children, Children’s World, that featuresstories, poems, puzzles and more, contributed by bothchild and adult writers. The magazine caters to agegroup 5-16 years and provides them a platform to airtheir views.

The Shankar’s International Children’s Competition forPainting and Writing was started in 1951. Children fromover 135 countries participate in the competition. Over800 prizes are awarded. The best painting gets thePresident of India’s Gold Medal while the best literaryentry gets Shankar’s Gold Medal. The prizewinningentries are exhibited and published in an annual numberShankar’s Children’s Art Number—a feast of colour andrhythm from all over the globe.

The Shankar’s International Dolls Museum, a favouritespot for school children and visitors to Delhi, has one ofthe largest collections of costume dolls anywhere in theworld. The collection was inspired by a gift of a singledoll which Shankar received from the HungarianAmbassador in the early fifties, to be given away as apr ize in the Shankar’s International Chi ldren’sCompetition. So fascinated was he with the Hungariandoll, Shankar began collecting costume dolls wheneverhe went abroad. When Children’s Book Trust was puttingup its building, a portion was planned as a museum forthe dolls. The museum was inaugurated by the Presidentof India, Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, in 1965, with a thousand

dolls. Today the volume has increased to more than7,500 exhibits from 85 countries.

Attached to the Dolls Museum, the Dolls Designingand Production Centre (started in 1966) specializes inbeautiful, authentic, handcrafted costume dolls depictinga cross-section of the people of India. It producescostume dolls under various categories. They are madeeither from terracotta or papier mâché, depending onthe flexibility required for the form it portrays. The dollsfrom the Workshop won the Golden Peacock Award inthe International Dolls Competition in 1980 in Poland.

CBT’s Indraprastha Press was established by Shankarin 1965 to print CBT publications to ensure quality. Itaccepts prestigious outside jobs. The press is wellequipped, employs advanced, modern print ingtechnology and is known for its quality. It has receivedseveral awards over the years for excellence in printing.

Housed in the premises of CBT, the Dr. B.C. RoyMemorial Children’s Reading Room and Library hasa collection of over 30,000 books on varied subjectsin English and Hindi. Opened in 1967, the library isexclusively for children in the age group 5-16 years. Thelibrary has an open access system where children areguided and encouraged to select their own books. Thelibrary is kept open on all days of the week from 9.30 a.m.to 5 p.m. except on public holidays. The library has aspacious reading room lined with book shelves andcolourful furniture. The walls are splashed with prizewinningpaintings creating a delightful ambience for its youngreaders.

The Shankar’s Academy of Art was established in1991 as a homage to Shankar. It runs a two-yearDiploma course in Art, Book Illustration and ComputerGraphics. Its objective is to build up the expertise muchneeded for India’s growing book industry.

Shankar’s last dream was to set up a Centre forchildren. Housed in Chanakyapuri, New Delhi, and setin an environment of beautiful landscape, open spaceand sky, wide access roads and garden, Shankar’sCentre for Children is proposed to have a range ofactivities by and for children to converge into a creativeassemblage. The centre will be a witness to Shankar’svision of a brave new world for children, for gettingtogether, for play, art and amity.

In all the diverse activities it has undertaken, theunderlying motivation for CBT has been Shankar’s beliefthat children deserve nothing but the very best.
