The magazine started its journey in 1977 and is now one of the leading literary initiatives taken in the Subcontinent for the promotion of children’s literature and family reading, as well as to accelerate the overall literacy drive and education in the country. “The ruby year’s edition of Mahnama Sathee proves the fact that the journey of children’s literature in Pakistan has come a long way,” said Tariq Ahmed Khan, the editor of Mahnama Sathee.
According to him, despite the fact that the modern, digital age is ruled by smartphones and high-tech telecommunication devices, the incessant efforts being made by Mahnama Sathee, a nonprofit publication since its inception, deserves appreciation and gratitude for playing a significant role in the promotion of reading habits among the younger generation, he said.
