Reading enriches thoughts and develops personality. It edifies one’s mind completely. The main objective of this movement is, therefore, to create an interest in reading among children, through which their personalities are developed and their cognitive abilities are enhanced. Reading also improves one’s language skills and instills values. This movement aims to cultivate reading habits not only among the youth but also among adults.

Reading strengthens children’s linguistic skills in different languages, such as English or Marathi. In this movement, we form groups of five children and ask them to present and write a summary of the books they have read. This helps them develop perception, comprehension, and expression through verbal and written communication.

We have also undertaken the initiative of establishing libraries in every village and ensuring they remain functional. Additionally, we have arranged for a mobile library, which conducts lecture series and various activities. Training seminars on how to read, write, and present in interviews are also being held. Through these seminars, we facilitate communication with well-known writers.

It is important to understand that the development of language is essential, as it forms the foundation for comprehending any subject and mastering it. If students read the right books and understand the central themes, good values are instilled in them. This helps them develop a clear aim in life and inspires them to strive hard to achieve it.

Advancement of moral values is of utmost importance in creating a healthy society. The reading movement enables people to achieve this aim. If students read two books every month and comprehend them, they will be able to read 20 books per year. From grades 5 to 10, they will be able to read more than 100 books in five to six years, which will undoubtedly enrich their world of knowledge.
