The book "The Village Without a Science Teacher" by Sangeeta Mulay is a thought-provoking tale. It highlights how lack of scientific knowledge leaves the human mind uninformed and vague, emphasising the importance of education. With a dash of wit and humour, the writer conveys a subtle story of progressive India. The main protagonist, Jambula, is a fearless girl with a curious mind, unlimited questions, and discoveries. Her thirst for knowledge transforms her small village. Mulay masterfully blends a social message with her storytelling skills- an entertaining and enlightening book.
A light, joyful, but thought-provoking read. This book touches on the Right to Education and it's importance in a cheerful manner. It also shines light on the evils of the caste system and how education, particularly Science, acts as a powerful tool towards empowerment. A great read for children and adults alike!
