The objective of this initiative is to provide younger children something to keep them busy during this pandemic, while at the same time promoting reading habit among them from an early age. Urdu books for children of all ages (Class1 to Class 11) have been printed since 1990 by Bookgroup, a sister organization of the C.A.S. The C.A.S. School has also printed 6 volumes of My Green Planet Earth.
