My Book My Friend’ Campaign

My Book My Friend’ Campaign

Kendriya Vidyalaya Matanhail

World Book Day is celebrated every year to promote reading, publishing and copyright. On the occasion of World Book Day 2020, ‘My Book My Friend’ campaign was launched by Hon’ble HRD Minister Dr. Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ to encourage students and teachers to keep reading books.

In continuation to its efforts to promote reading habits among students and support the launch of ‘My Book My Friend’ campaign, KVS encourages its Vidyalaya to be part of this campaign.

The students may be encouraged to go beyond their textbooks and discover the joy of reading some other books of their interest available in their homes or on internet. The students may be assisted in the selection of books by sharing with them the list of books and links from where they can download the books free of cost.

The e-books, available in school library, can also be shared with the students. Books can be the best friends in the times we are in. Students sitting at home due to closure of schools may utilise their time by exploring the realm of good books. The power of books can be leveraged to combat isolation, cope with fears and anxieties.

Reading of books will not only give new knowledge and ideas to the students but will also enhance their imagination, critical thinking, language skills, focus, memory and concentration.

The KVS looks forward to the whole-hearted cooperation of all its Vidyalaya in supporting this campaign and enriching the reading experience of our young generation.
