World Book Day or World Book and Copyright Day is celebrated on April 23rd every
year to promote reading, publishing and copyright. On the occasion of World Book
Day 2020, ‘My Book My Friend’ campaign was launched by Hon’ble HRD Minister
Dr. Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ to encourage students to keep reading books.
In continuation to its efforts to promote reading habits among students and support
the launch of ‘My Book My Friend’ campaign, CBSE encourages its schools to be
part of this campaign.
The students may be encouraged to go beyond their textbooks and discover the joy
of reading some other books of their interest available in their homes or on internet.
The students may be assisted in the selection of books by sharing with them the list
of books and links from where they can download the books free of cost. The
ebooks, if available in school library, can also be shared with the students.
Books can be the best friends in the times we are in. Students sitting at home due to
closure of schools may utilise their time by exploring the realm of good books. The
power of books can be leveraged to combat isolation, cope with fears and
anxieties.Reading of books will not only give new knowledge and ideas to the
students but will also enhance their imagination, critical thinking, language skills,
focus, memory and concentration.
The Board looks forward to the whole-hearted cooperation of all its schools in
supporting this campaign and enriching the reading experience of our young
generation.
