On 19 June 2025, Don Bosco Tech Vaduthala celebrated National Reading Day with a vibrant and thought-provoking program that brought together creativity, imagination, and the joy of expression. To mark the occasion, students enthusiastically participated in Story-Writing and Poem-Writing competitions that transformed the day into a true festival of words.
The competitions were more than just literary exercises—they became windows into the students’ inner worlds. Through stories, participants explored themes of resilience, friendship, and hope, weaving narratives that reflected both their imagination and their life experiences. The poems, on the other hand, showcased raw emotions, lyrical beauty, and a sensitivity to nature, society, and human values.
What made the event truly engaging was the way students connected the act of reading with their own ability to create. Many reflected on how reading regularly sparks ideas, enriches vocabulary, and sharpens the mind, ultimately shaping them into better writers and communicators. The event highlighted that reading is not a passive habit but an active force that fuels creativity and self-expression.
Teachers and evaluators praised the originality and depth of the submissions, noting how the competitions provided students with a platform to articulate their thoughts with clarity and passion. The atmosphere was one of celebration—of words, ideas, and the power of language to inspire change.
The National Reading Day program at Don Bosco Tech Vaduthala on 19 June 2025 was not just a commemoration of a day—it was a reminder of the lifelong value of reading and the endless possibilities it unlocks. The stories and poems crafted during the event will continue to inspire, proving that when students embrace the world of books, they also discover the strength of their own voices.
