The Malayalam Reading Day was
celebrated with great enthusiasm at our B.Ed college on June 19, 2025,
commemorating the birth anniversary of Sri P.N. Panicker, the father of the
library movement in Kerala. The event was organized with the aim of promoting
reading habits and creating awareness about the importance of books and libraries
in shaping an enlightened society.
The programme began with a formal
inauguration session. Our respected Vice Principal presided over the function
and delivered the keynote address, emphasizing the role of reading in teacher
education. Faculty co-ordinator gave a
special talk on the importance of reading.
As part of the celebration, a
Class Library was inaugurated by our vice principal Mrs Praseeda V. symbolizing our commitment
to nurturing a reading culture among student teachers. The class library
includes a diverse collection of Malayalam and English books, contributed by
students and faculty members.
To actively involve students and
foster creativity, several interesting competitions were conducted:
Selfie with Your Favorite Book:
Students were encouraged to take selfies with books that inspired them and
share a few lines about their connection to the book.
Write a Report on a Book That
Changed Your Life: This writing competition allowed students to reflect on
a book that made a significant impact on their personal or academic life. The
entries showcased thoughtful insights and emotional connections with
literature.
The celebration was marked by
active participation and deep engagement from both students and teachers. The
program not only highlighted the importance of reading in professional and
personal growth but also instilled a renewed interest in Malayalam literature.
