Nellore: In today’s digital world, one cannot spend much time staring at a screen and now they are getting opportunity to learn via different means and methods, especially through apps during dull summer vacation which would be so thought-provoking if coupled with animation.
Consequently, kids needn’t confine to boring televisions where they have to watch rotten stories, and movie masala and can watch ever interesting mythological content besides playing stuff in a stimulating way beneficial to widen knowledge base.

Not only stories on Bhagavatam, Ramayanam, Maha Bharatham, and other epics there are many applications for Telugu Satakamulu like Vemana, Sumathi, Bhaskara, Srikrishna, Dasarathi, Kumara, Sri Kalahastiswara and many other popular ones in Telugu literature quenching the thirst of lovers of tradition and culture. “Mobile phone or a tab cannot be deserted from reach of the children, but parents should know how to use it
