The ‘Vaanche Gujarat’ initiative of Chief Minister Narendra Modi seems to be receiving a tremendous response. It has touched upon the lives of several students in the city, who have now developed a fondness for books and reading after getting to know about the campaign.
Books like Tintin, Panchtantra, Akbar and Birbal, Adventures of Robinhood, Secret Seven, Albert Einstein, Gandhi’s The Story of My Experiments with Truth, Aladdin, Twilight, Champak, Tom Sawyer, Environement in Pocket, Da Vinci Code, Two States, Bhagwad Geeta, etc, find favour with the students.
SIX SCHOOLS, 86 STUDENTS
Mirror spoke to students of six schools in the city and found that the students not only read the books, they also had in-depth knowledge of the plots, charachters and the authors. Some of them narrated the storyline of the books that they had read. Eighty-six students from C N Vidyalay, St Xavier’s Loyola, Damubhai Shukla School, Vandana School, Shree Narayana Guru Vidyalay (SNGV) and Deewan Ballubhai Vidyalay, claimed that they have discovered a whole new world through books. Many of these students said that reading books was more fun that playing video games or watching television.
