Inculcate habit of reading newspapers, students told

Wednesday turned out to be an altogether different day for students of Viswa Bharathi High School here. Instead of their regular morning classes, they attended The Hindu Newspaper in Education programme to know more about the benefits of reading a newspaper.

Minutes after paying tributes to the former President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam during the prayer meeting, students moved to the seminar hall to attend the session.

As the programme coordinator Saileela started explaining the advantages of reading newspaper everyday, students listened to her in rapt attention during the hour-long session.

When the coordinator posed a question why people read newspapers, pat came the reply from students that they provide information about various developments around the world. Be it politics, science and technology, business or sports, newspapers will provide detail information everyday in the morning, the students said.

“A newspaper is like a textbook. It gives valuable information on various subjects and enable us to improve our knowledge,” said a student Sarandeep.

In the present day competitive world, communication skills are playing a vital role. “We can improve our communication skills by reading the newspaper daily,” said another student Sasi Pavan.

Ms. Saileela explained to school students about various aspects involved in printing a newspaper.

School director Potluri Srimannarayana and principal G. Radha were also present.
