In a world where inequalities are rising, books are essential for building up the young and the values we pass on to them. Together with illustrator Cheyenne Olivier, 2019 Nobel Prize-winning economist Esther Duflo will present her new series of books which explores the themes of school, health, work, environment and entrepreneurship as they relate to poverty. Designed to encourage children to ask the right questions and help parents talk about poverty in simple terms, the series aims to break down prejudices and stereotypes associated with poverty in today’s world.

The event marks the launch of the series in English (published by Juggernaut) and in Bengali, Hindi, Kannada, Tamil and Marathi (published by Pratham Books).

The Keynote by Esther Duflo will be followed by a discussion between her and Cheyenne Olivier, moderated by Roopa Pai. Whether you’re an adult or a precocious teenager, join us for an enlightening and inspiring evening!
