READING INSPIRATION DAY 2020: Report

 READING INSPIRATION DAY 2020

LIRC celebrates Reading Inspiration Day or Waachan Prerana Diwas every year on 15 October to commemorate the birth anniversary of Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam – our ex-President and the Missile Man of India. Every year, we organize various activities such as Exhibition of books and Take Away of Donated books. 

This year due to the COVID 19 lockdown, we  conducted an Online Quiz which judged the respondent’s knowledge through guessing the book by the given description. 61 responses were received. The favourite genre of books was Fiction followed by True Stories and Autobiographies. Many varied book recommendations were received which we will compile and a selected few will be soon added to the library’s collection. A big thank you to Asso. Prof. Bidisha Roy (CMPN) and Asst. Prof. Jovita Serrao (ExTC) for the creative digital bookmarks.

Indian Standard Time was adopted today in 1947

 Seventy years ago, India first adopted Indian Standard Time (IST) #OnThisDay in 1947. 

Time zones were officially established in India in 1884, during the British rule. Two time zones - Bombay Time and Calcutta Time, were used -  due to the importance of these cities as commercial and economic centres. 

Today India’s time zone is calculated according to the longitude of 82.5° E. at Shankargarh Fort in Mirzapur (Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh) as the central meridian for India. With a time offset of UTC+5:30, India is five and a half hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time.
