 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.
