SD College's Readers Club celebrated National Reading Month with Selfie with a Book, a month-long campaign to promote love for reading and Libraries

Readers Club GGDSD College, Chandigarh, organised an Event to Promote "Love for libraries and reading" to honour Keralite teacher P.N. Panicker on National Reading Day/National Reading Month Selfie with a Book. A month-long campaign under National Library Month was organised to promote love for reading and Libraries, which attracted social media coverage. In 2017, Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared June 19 as National Reading Day in India in honour of the death anniversary of PN Panicker. These events are conducted under the aegis of the UGC, Government of India.


Readers Club's motto behind organising Selfie with a Book is that it is a creative way to promote reading that can connect people with authors and their favourite books. From June 19 to July 18, 2023, esteemed personalities from different spheres like Literature, theatre, arts, education, libraries, academics, and media Nationally and internationally, people joined our National Reading Month celebrations. Dr. Surjit Patar, renowned Punjabi Poet; Rana Ranbir, Actor; Bhag Malhotra from Bahrisons; Mandeep Singh Manu, Artist; Ms. Inderjit Nandan, professional accountant and social & disability activist; Dr. Mahendra Khadgawat, IAS, Director Rajasthan Archaeology and Museum Department & State Archives; Mr. Rajeev Khanna, Associate Editor, TheCitizen.in; Shiv Inder Singh, Founder and Editor-in-chief of Suhi Saver; Sukirat Anand, a prominent literary figure of Punjab; Prof. Chaman Lal, distinguished writer & academician; Prof. Jagtar Singh, esteemed academician and co-author of UNESCO MIL Curriculum; Amandeep Sandhu, an author of Panjab Journeys Through Fault Lines; Amardeep Singh, an Independent Visual Ethnographic Researcher; Svetlana GOROKHOVA, Chair of the Russian Library Association Section, International  Cooperation; Prof Emirates Sunita Pathania, Panjab University, Chandigarh; Jaswant Zafar Punjabi writer & poet; Balbir Parwana; Punjabi writer, Shiv Kunal Verma, Indian military historian and documentary film maker; Dr. Vishnu D.

These prominent figures inspired, strengthened, and became torch bearers for our campaign for the promotion of the PN Panicker: Read and Grow motto. These personalities are the torchbearers for young learners and can tempt them towards reading.

Posting striking photos of influential individuals with books with the goal of attracting readers' attention on social media is the driving force behind the novel and inventive "Selfie with a Book" campaign. Reading an e-book can be everlasting or at any time, but a hard copy is touchable, and one can definitely feel when it ends. A hard copy is suitable for people to perceive the world through touch and the smell of old books and their yellow-turned pages or newly published books. The experience of turning the pages of a book and feeling its weight as you read is one that can't be replicated by anything.

Dr. Gurpreet Singh, Convener, Readers Club, explains that the 'Selfie with a Book' campaign is a great way to promote reading for pleasure and a way of bringing users to their native libraries to find their favourite book. Books can bring joy, so next time you are looking for something to do, pick up a book, click your photo with it, and cherish this memory forever.

Dr. Ajay Sharma, Principal of the college, emphasised the importance of libraries for communities academically as well as as centres of learning and culture, and that reading culture plays a pivotal role in the growth of the nation. He also congratulated the Readers Club for organising a month-long selfie with a book campaign in remembrance of PN Panicker.
