The campaign’s goal

The programme was established with the goal of involving all stakeholders, including children, educational officials, teachers, parents, the community, and others, at both the national and state levels.


Campaign-related activities

One activity has been prepared per week for each group as part of the 100 days campaign, with the goal of making reading joyful and creating a lifelong association with the love of reading.
A complete guideline on the Reading Campaign, as well as an age-appropriate weekly calendar of events, has been produced by the Ministry. All of the recommendations were developed in collaboration with states and union territories.


The Mission of Foundational Literacy and Numeracy

The goals and vision of the “foundational Literacy and Numeracy mission” have also been integrated with the reading campaign.


With an emphasis on Indian languages

The programme would also emphasize Indian languages such as mother tongues, regional languages, and local languages. In order to achieve this goal, the campaign has been linked to “International Mother Tongue Day,” which takes place on February 21. In India, the day will be commemorated with the “Kahani Padho Apni Bhasa Main” activity, which encourages youngsters to read in their native language.
