Just imagine how much fun studies can be if cartoon characters like Mickey and Donald start teaching children, alphabets and numbers in their mother tongue. Sesame Workshop, an international NGO, has created an innovative educational programme on the similar lines called “Galli Galli Sim Sim”. It is the Indian version of Sesame Street, the English educational programme of Sesame workshop. Galli Galli Sim Sim is 65 episode preschool television series, created to make education a joyride for Indian children. Its four colourful characters, Chamki, Aanchoo, Googly and Boombah encourage young children to learn basic cognitive and numeracy skills. Along with them, human characters representing different genders, regions and religions act as Galli Galli Sim Sim residents and represent the vibrancy of India’s multi-culturalism.
