KV students promote reading

Uppal: The students and staff at Kendriya Vidyalaya are celebrating ‘Library Week’ here, which began at its premises recently.

Principal Radha Mahalakshmi said, “The sole objective of this programme is to promote healthy reading habits among children. The 21st century has become mechanical and technology based and children fail to deliver quality content if they cannot use the internet.”

“This programme also has the ability to develop IQ skills, and proper vocabulary among children, which can shape their personality,” she said.

Competitions that included quizzes, book review, writing, and storytelling are being conducted as part of the event in which high school students are participating.
