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.
Books are like old buddies, sometimes they just let you dream and dive deep in the world of fantasy and relieve you of all the monotony of day to day world.
ReplyDeleteI would request all the dear children and staff members to pick a book and share short reviews with the School Librarian, Dr Zafar.

Apparently, the practice of reading books creates cognitive engagement that improves lots of things, including vocabulary, thinking skills, and concentration. It also can affect empathy, social perception, and emotional intelligence.
