However, amidst the flurry of technology, there’s a profound need to reignite the love for reading and comprehension, especially among the youth.Recognizing this necessity, our Dharma Jagruthi organization embarks on a noble mission to encourage and rekindle the art of reading and comprehension among children aged 9-18 years in the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) area.
