Reading Literacy Campaign-Issue of guidelines on preparatory activities of the campaign

As we are all aware that reading skills of our students are far below than

their respective academic standards. Without bothering about the reading

abilities of children, the total system is focusing on syllabus completion and year

end evaluations alone. It’s the dire need of every person in the education system

to see that every student is able to read the books of their standard.

In this context Government have decided to implement special initiative in

the name “we Love Reading” a mission mode programme to promote

Foundational literacy skills among students of class 1 to class 9. In this mission

mode programme all children are provided with different avenues at school,

home & village to read in a joyful environment. Teachers, parents, youth, retired

persons, academicians, NGOs etc. will have to take lead role to run the program

to the fullest extent. All the Regional Joint Directors, District Educational

Officers, Principals of DIETs, Additional Project Coordinators of Smagra Siksha

are requested to take up the following preparatory activities before the launch of

the programme. The programme will be launched on 14th November, 2020 on

the occasion of children’s day co terminus with the National Library Week

commencing on the same day.
