While flagging off the mobile library here yesterday, Education Minister Rohit Thakur expressed concern over the declining interest in reading books among children. “The campaign aims to strengthen the reading culture among students and make reading a part of daily routine,” the minister said.

Samagra Shiksha Director Rajesh Sharma said under the campaign books suitable for different age groups would be displayed, encouraging students to read and develop their literary skills. The campaign will include activities like everyday reading and read aloud sessions to foster reading habit.
