A 100-day campaign launched by the state Education department in government schools hopes to bring back the reading habit among students of standards I to VIII.
The campaign is planned to improve language development by creating an enduring interest in reading and writing with comprehension.
Visiting libraries to playing word games, reading poetry and finding information regarding Famous Personalities are among several efforts to boost the return to the habit that has been lost to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Maharashtra State Council of Education Research and Training has drawn up plans for each class to follow over the next three months to steer reading activities.
