ABOUT GALLI GALLI SIM SIM
The Galli Galli Sim Sim outreach initiative will reinforce the educational messages of its companion preschool television series and extend the project's reach and impact with supplementary content made available through training opportunities, books, pamphlets, posters, educational games and electronic media. In tandem with the on-air debut of the television series, this initiative will launch on Independence Day with a community viewing event in Madanpur Khader resettlement colony in New Delhi, reaching out to the 1200 people served by partner NGO Deepalaya, as well as other residents of the area. This inaugural project will continue in other locations and include activities for children as well as training events in local balwaadis, expecting to touch 20,000 people in a couple of months.
 
Additional educational outreach efforts will be led by a non-governmental organization (NGO) that is being formed by Sesame Workshop in India. The NGO will spearhead outreach across a variety of media platforms by creating educational content that delights young Indian children aged 2 to 6, and managing a network of collaborative partnerships with other NGOs, funding partners, consumers, government agencies, educational institutions, broadcasters, and production team members.
