“Puthuvayil Narayana Panicker is known as the Father of the Library Movement in the Indian state of Kerala. The activities of the Kerala Grandhasala Sangham that he initiated triggered a popular cultural movement in Kerala, which produced universal literacy in the state in the 1990s,” says Wikipedia.
National Reading Day is a tribute to P.N. Panicker’s vision and commitment to promoting reading as a tool for personal and societal growth. It encourages celebrating the joys of reading, exploring knowledge in books, and recognizing the transformative power of reading in shaping individuals and communities.
