Today June 19th is the death anniversary of Shri P.N. Panicker. This day is observed by Keralites as Reading Day. The library movement in Kerala was started by late Shri P.N. Panicker. His vision transformed the reading culture of the state. Today is a day to celebrate and promote the joy and value of reading.

Reading is one of the richest habits in human life. It not only develops knowledge, but also nurtures imagination, creativity, communication skills and overall personality.

Through reading, we gain insight into the world, different cultures and a wide range of subjects. It broadens our understanding and fosters lifelong learning.

Reading opens the door to new worlds, characters and experiences, stimulates our imagination and creative thinking.

Reading enables us to view situations from different perspectives, enhances analytical skills and encourages empathy.

Reading improves vocabulary, comprehension, and writing skills. It plays an important role in developing fluent communication.

Reading reinforces learning, improves exam performance, and increases confidence in oral and written expression.

Let us honour the legacy of Shri P.N. Panicker by inculcating the habit of reading in our daily lives.

Let us read regularly for knowledge, growth, and happiness.
