‘Vachan Prerna Diwas’ or ‘Reading Day’. This day is celebrated on 15th October. It is marked as the birth anniversary of Late

Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam.

Books not only inspire us, but they also provide knowledge. Even though technology has brought in many changes in the way we read, technology has only enhanced our ability to get connected to different sources of knowledge through reading. Reading enriches and expands our vocabulary and develops the skill of concentration. Reading exposes our minds to different cultures and languages of the world. Reading is a healthy exercise for the mind. Therefore, I strongly urge each one of you to cultivate the habit of reading and make good use of this opportunity that is provided to you on the occasion of Vachan Prerna Diwas. You can also log on to the sxba library for ebooks.
