National Reading Day 2022: In India, National Reading Day is observed every year on the 19th of June. National Reading Day is celebrated to spread awareness among the young generation about the importance of reading. The habit of reading should be developed in everyone because reading not only increases our knowledge but also makes the individual pacific, concentrated and patient. National Reading Day is also known as Vaayanadinam and this name has been given by the Government of Kerala. In this post we have discussed about the history, significance and theme of National Reading Day.

National Reading Day 2022: History


National Reading Day is celebrated to honor the Keralian Teacher, Puthuvayil Narayana Panicker. P.N Panicker died on 19th June 1995 and to pay tribute to his contributions it was decided to celebrate National Reading Day. The first National Reading Day was celebrated on 19th June 1996 by P N Panicker Vigyan Vikas Kendra and P N Panicker Foundation.

For his enormous contributions P.N Panicker is known as the father of the “Library Movement in Kerala”. Under the Kerala Grandhasala Sangham (KGS), P N Panicker established 47 libraries in 1946. The Kerala Grandhasala Sangham was formerly known as Thiruvithaamkoor Granthasala Sangham or the Travancore Library Association. To remember the legacy of P N Panicker Ministry of Education under the Government of India issued a stamp on 21st June 2004.
