Abstract
Chakmak is a monthly science magazine in
Hindi for children between the ages of 10
and 14 years. Conceived by Rex D’Rozario
and Vinod Raina, it was launched in 1985.
The idea was to encourage children to read,
and in general, to supplement what they
learnt at that age in schools while making
it an enjoyable process. Chakmak at that
time contained a fair amount of science in
addition to stories, poems and pictures. The
science was presented in diverse forms to
hook readers, to encourage their creativity
and encourage independent thinking. Poems,
stories and illustrations by children were also
published in each issue which helped children
identify better with the magazine.
