Forest songs
Scope and Contents
Softbound pamphlet (15/20), typed with overwriting, labeled 1/20 to 20/20. Currently, pamphlet nos. 2,4,6,7,8 and 16 are missing. The remaining 14 pamphlets are available. The pamphlets appear to have been used in the classroom (whether in the school building or at Naraikadu) as teaching-learning aids. Based on a quick scan each pamphlet appears to contain 31 songs. Each song is dedicated to an aspect of the natural environment of the forests and hills (likely the Western Ghats).Singing these songs was a form of edu-tainment for the children.
