In a creative attempt to draw the attention of youngsters to the world
of Malayalam literature, the students of the Madappally Government
Vocational Higher Secondary School have come out with a new audio
book, Vaikhari , which will shortly hit all the social media platforms
for gifting a new learning experience.
Teachers and students, who worked behind the idea, say the audio
magazine will feature all the important classical works in Malayalam,
especially poems.
Weekly updates
Lessons targeting students in Class X across the State, too, will be
included in ‘Vaikhari,’ which will be updated every week. Coordinators
of the project say the lessons in the audio book will be highly
helpful for the visually challenged students in Kerala.
All these lessons are recorded in the voice of the students. The
lessons which are now in audio format will be first uploaded on the
Youtube to make it available for all learners in Kerala.
Plans are also there to post it in Facebook, Twitter, and all other
new media platforms to change the initiative to the level of an
infotainment. To avoid Copy Right Act violations, works those do not
come under the act will be initially considered for uploading. The
first book comprises five well-known stories in Malayalam.
According to programme coordinators, the audio book is the effort of a
15-member team including students and teachers under the headship of
the National Service Scheme unit.
It will be released by writer Shihabudheen Poithumkadavu on Monday.
