‘Vachan Prerna Divas’ on Oct 15: ‘Promote book reading on Dr Kalam’s birth anniversary’

Education Department plan to observe ‘No gadget day’ once a month (students will be urged not to use any form of social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, and instead, read books.)

Department of Higher and Technical Education - Some of the suggestions were:

·         As part of their curriculum, colleges can plan a tour to Bhilar village in Satara district, which was recently crowned as the first ‘book village of India’.

·         All libraries in schools and colleges could set up ‘APJ Abdul Kalam Reading Katta’, or an informal platform where students can gather and discuss books, writers and literary works.

·         Management of educational institutions could gift books to the guests and students on special occasions and functions, instead of presenting them with bouquets or other things.
