Kapil Sharma, senior general manager North America, Tata Sons, said, “Promoting children’s literacy has long been an area of focus for Tatas in North America. We are glad to encourage reading throughout Washington, DC. As the children begin another school year, we hope our contributions continue to build self-confidence, and help them find lasting joy in reading and learning.”
