We the Curious Owls are first and most importantly parents. We have 5 inquisitive, hungry for knowledge young minds between us. They are the reason behind us starting our venture in 2014.
We looked for suitable newspapers for the children to read and came across NONE. And so, an idea was hatched.
9 years down the line we remain committed to our endeavour in providing your children and ours with fresh and interesting news stories they can trust and learn from every week in our award-winning current affairs newspaper.
We hope that The Curious Owl acts as a stepping stone to providing a seamless transition to them one day reading adult newspapers and being able to form their own well thought out opinions and critiques on what they read.
It may come as a surprise to know that the whole newspaper is written entirely by the two of us and we wouldn’t be too wrong in thinking we are one of the few newspaper publications registered with the Registrar of Newspapers India with an editorial team of two!
Our talented Owlets give us their views on questions we ask, we call them ‘Members of Parliament’ (Citizen Curious). We also encourage Owlets to send us their drawing, poems, comments and opinions on articles in the newspaper, because they matter. See the Owlet Zone tab on the Home page.
When Owlets, parents and educators write in and tell us how much they are enjoying the newspaper or that their child is reading, it feels good and worth the effort we put in to each issue.
Yes, we are an officially recognized newspaper. As of the financial year 2018, there were 1,18,238 publications registered with RNI in India and we are one of them.
Warmly Anjali & Vinni
We are mothers, who read, know what our children and their peers should be reading and be aware of. We would like to think we are detail-attentive and fastidious in the way we write and speak, and extremely passionate about The Curious Owl. We pride ourselves on writing honest news you can trust.
