Summer Reading Club · Free for schools

A free 4-week summer reading program for your Class 4 and above students.

Co-branded with your school. Class 4 to 7 receive Heroes of Ancient Bharat. Class 8 and above receive Lesser Known Guardians of Dharma. Schools may also pick a different course from our Gurukul if it fits their students better. Parent-supervised, opt-in, no teacher workload by default. We deliver the content, platform, and certificates. Your school gets the credit.

The two program courses

Built for two age bands.

Each is a complete, bilingual course included free with the program. Schools may also pick a different course from our Gurukul if it fits their students better.

For students · all free with the program

15 to 20 minutes a day. Four weeks. Real wisdom.

Every student gets the full Talapatram experience with the program course. Six learning features, all included free. Bilingual in English and Hindi.

Life Lessons

Each story is anchored in a moral lesson, surfaced through a reflection prompt at the end of every lesson. Applied wisdom from the stories.

Living Traditions

Every story connects to real places kids can visit, festivals they already celebrate, and rituals their families follow. Bridges stories to lived heritage.

Shlokas

Every lesson surfaces a relevant shloka with a word-by-word breakdown. Sanskrit absorbed ambiently, through the stories.

Yogi AI

A respectful dharmic AI companion that answers students' questions about the stories and characters. Curiosity gets engaged, not deflected.

Learn Sanskrit

Sanskrit words and meanings alongside every lesson, plus a few shlokas worth memorising. Reinforced through Smarana, our Sanskrit learning game.

Dharmic Insights

A daily Dharmic Feed of short insights from across our Itihasas, Puranas, and Traditions. Curiosity, refreshed every morning.

Frequently asked questions

The questions school management actually asks.

Is it really free? Will you charge later?
The program course (Heroes of Ancient Bharat for Class 4-7, Lesser Known Guardians of Dharma for Class 8+) is gifted to every enrolled student at no cost. We do not bill the school, the parent, or the student for the program. Parents can choose to subscribe to Talapatram independently after the program if they wish. We never make that conditional on the program.
Will you advertise to our students?
During the program, no. The Talapatram app is ad-free today, and the program course is fully free for program students with no payment required to complete it. The app does contain product CTAs for other Talapatram courses and our adult subscription plans, but only the parent's account can transact. We will never target marketing at children.
What data do you collect from kids?
First name, class, school name, and lesson progress. Quiz responses are stored as correct or incorrect, not free text. We do not collect full name, photo, address, date of birth, or location. From parents, we collect email and phone number for sign-up and OTP verification.
How much teacher time does this need?
Zero. Schools share one parent letter using our template, signed by the Principal. After that, no teacher workload is required.
Can we co-brand the certificate?
Yes. The certificate auto-generates with the student's first name and your school's name alongside the Talapatram seal. The school may print and hand them out, or distribute digitally, however you choose.
Is content available in Hindi?
Yes. Every lesson is available in both English and Hindi. Students choose their preferred language.
What if we want to pause or exit?
Pause or exit anytime. Parents can request data erasure for their child at any point. School can withdraw endorsement at any point. We honour both within 15 days.
