Who We Are
Let’s Read India Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to making books accessible to children and communities across India. We work with individuals, schools, volunteers, and organizations to collect, organize, and distribute books where they are needed the most.

Establishment
The Foundation is Laid
Let's Read Foundation was established in February 2018 with a core objective: to guide people on what to read, how to read, and where to read. We began our mission to encourage lifelong reading and create awareness about the benefits of reading for students, young professionals, career aspirants, and senior citizens.
2020
Official Launch
Registration & Mobile Library Inauguration
Officially registered on 25th August 2020. On 5th September 2020, Shri. Abhijit Bangar (Navi Mumbai Municipal Commissioner) inaugurated our 1st Mobile Library Van at Navi Mumbai Corporation office. We also launched our Online Book Library at library.letsreadindia.com, crossing 1,100+ registered members who can reserve books and manage wishlists digitally.
2021
Community Engagement
Weekly Reading Campaigns & Contests
To boost engagement, we initiated weekly reading contests on Twitter (twice a week). Winners are awarded books as gifts, which are directly couriered to their residence addresses across different districts of Maharashtra, fostering a true love for reading at home.

System Scaling
Inventory & Support Team Expansion
Strengthened our dedicated support team for book shortlisting, barcode generation, and online inventory management. Each Mobile Van now has a capacity to store approx. 4,000 books, issued on a 7-day cycle based on current affairs and reader wishlists.
2026
Future Vision
Taking the Initiative to the Next Level
Our vision for 2026 focuses on overcoming key challenges: acquiring more mobile vans with GPS tracking to reach every corner of the state, conducting classroom sessions on reading techniques, increasing book inventory to cater to diverse reader interests, ensuring on-time delivery of books, and expanding our support team to manage a bigger inventory across India.
Our Foundation
Vision & Mission
Guiding people on what to read, how to read, and where to read to encourage lifelong learning
Our Mission
Our mission is to promote and cultivate a genuine habit of reading among children and communities across India. We are committed to collecting, curating, and distributing quality books to underserved and remote areas where access to literature is limited.
We focus on establishing and sustaining vibrant community and school libraries that serve as hubs of learning and inspiration. Through interactive reading programs and educational activities, we strive to inspire continuous learning and create a culture of lifelong reading.
By building strategic partnerships with various organizations and stakeholders, we aim to expand equitable access to knowledge across India, ensuring that every individual has the opportunity to benefit from the transformative power of reading.
Our Vision
To create an India where every child, regardless of their socioeconomic background, has seamless access to books, knowledge, and the empowering opportunity to become a confident, lifelong learner.
We envision a future where reading is not a privilege, but a fundamental right that unlocks boundless cognitive potential and career aspirations for all.
As a person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read, we strive to make quality reading accessible to every age group - from students to senior citizens.
