Book Cafe

We understand that you are interested in My Good School, an online school with a learning studio located at the iconic The English Book Depot (EBD) in Dehradun. Did you know that The English Book Depot has served the education sector for over 100 years? It all started with a humble bookshop at Ferozpur back in 1923, and since then, we've been providing families with a delightful book-buying experience. 

Our team at EBD takes great pride in creating a comfortable and welcoming environment for our visitors.  Moreover, we recognise the importance of a good cup of coffee in enhancing your browsing experience. That's why we have one of the finest coffee shops in town! 

Book Cafe is not just a place to buy books but also a great spot to unwind and browse all day. We would love you to visit us in Dehradun and experience our warm hospitality. So, if you're ever in the area, please stop by and say hello!

Join us in celebrating Smt. Snehlata from The English Book Depot's incredible 85-year journey! Her heartfelt leadership has inspired us for over 50 years, making a remarkable difference in countless lives. Let’s come together to honour her legacy and the incredible impact she continues to have on all of us!

Vision: To recognise, celebrate, and support individuals who have made extraordinary, lifelong contributions to fostering a love for reading among primary school children in India, thereby nurturing a generation of informed and imaginative citizens.

Mission: To spotlight unsung heroes, inspire others to dedicate themselves to children's literacy, strengthen the ecosystem for children's literature, and promote reading across India.

The Award is announced on July 24th every year, which marks Snehlata's birthday. The Ceremony is hosted at the ScooNews Global Ed-Fest in Jaipur in early August, and the Awardee is invited to Dehradun to savour the legacy and work of the great lady, perhaps the longest-serving woman in book retailing in India's history.

It will encourage you to observe, question, evaluate, and choosing schools that prepare children for life beyond campus and theory.

The book aids educators and administrators in building better institutions and changing the future of learning.

With insights from Doon School alum and coach Sandeep Dutt, it promotes conversations and shapes the future of education.
