Gadchiroli, Bureau: To develop a love of reading among students, instill national spirit in them, and create curiosity, the state government has implemented various initiatives.

As part of this, inspired by the vision of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, a unique and inspiring initiative is being launched in tribal and remote areas of Gadchiroli district to set up wall libraries in schools.

Through the social responsibility initiative of Ratnanidhi Trust, more than 50 types of books will be provided free of cost. Nearly one lakh students will benefit from this initiative. High-quality books will be provided for children aged 5 to 14, covering topics such as science, space research, amazing stories, life values, leadership, biographies of brave soldiers, ancient stories, poetry, and more.

This initiative will encourage children to develop a reading habit, make reading enjoyable and easy, and inspire creativity and confidence in them. Under the guidance of Collector Abhishek Pandey, preparations for setting up these libraries in schools are underway. In the next six months, this project will be launched in 1000 schools.

June 19th marks National Reading Day — a perfect moment to pause our endless scrolling and rediscover the joy of reading. In today’s fast-paced digital world, our attention spans are shrinking, and deep focus feels like a lost art. But guess what? Reading can flip that script.

Starting early with books builds vocabulary, sharpens thinking, and sparks curiosity that lasts a lifetime. It helps us focus better, remember more, and see the world from fresh perspectives. Plus, reading feels like a secret superpower for the mind!

We salute PN Panicker, the Libraryman of India, and applaud champions like Reeta Ramamurthy Gupta and Meenakshi Lekhi ji for keeping this beautiful tradition alive. At Ratna Nidhi, we support the simple yet powerful idea of dedicating one hour—9 to 10 AM or 4 to 5 PM—as Reading Hour. Can’t manage a full hour? Start with a few minutes. Every page counts!
