READING PLEDGE (CELEBRATION OF NATIONAL READING MONTH)

READING PLEDGE

I promise to read Each day and each night.

I know it's the key To growing up right.

I'll read to myself, I'll read to a crowd.

It makes no difference If silent or loud.

I'll read at my desk, At home and at school,

On my bean bag or bed, By the fire or pool.

Each book that I read Puts smarts in my head,

'Cause brains grow more thoughts The more they are fed.

So I take this oath To make reading my way

Of feeding my brain What it needs every day.

BIOGRAPHY

BIOGRAPHY OF MR. P.N. PANICKER 

P.N. PANICKER

(1, MARCH, 1909-19, JUNE, 1995)

Early life: Panicker was born on 1 March 1909 in Jamjamjum to Govinda Pillai and Janaky Amma at Neelamperoor,Pn panikar India.^[2]In 1926 he started the Sanadanadharmam Library as a teacher in his hometown.^[3] he was a teacher and his influence on society was much greater than many of his time.

Panicker led the formation of Thiruvithaamkoor Granthasala Sangham (Travancore Library Association) in 1945 with 47 rural libraries. The slogan of the organization was 'Read and Grow'. Later on, with the formation of Kerala State in 1956, it became Kerala Granthasala Sangham (KGS). He traveled to the villages of Kerala proclaiming the value of reading. He succeeded in bringing some 6,000 libraries into this network. Grandhasala Sangham won the prestigious ‘Krupsakaya Award’from UNESCO in 1975. Panicker was the General Secretary of Sangham for 32 years, until 1977, when it was taken over by the State Government. It became the Kerala State Library Council, with an in-built democratic structure and funding.

KANFED

After his organization was taken over by the State, Panicker became subject to political interference. In 1977 he responded by founding the Kerala Association for Non-formal Education and Development (KANFED). KANFED was instrumental in starting the Kerala State Literacy Mission, which led Kerala to its universal literacy movement. Thus, Kerala became the first state which achieved universal literacy.

Panicker took a keen interest in promoting Agricultural Books Corners, The Friendship Village Movement (Sauhrudagramam), Reading Programmes for Families, Grants for Books and building libraries and Best Reader’s Award P.N. Panicker Foundation.

Legacy

Panicker died on 19 June 1995, at age 86.^[4] The Government of Kerala acknowledged his contributions and ordered that 19 June be observed, annually, as Vaayanadinam (READING DAY ) with a week-long series of activities at schools and public institutions to honor his contributions to the cause of literacy, education and library movement.

The Department of Posts honored Panicker by issuing a commemorative postage stamp on 21 June 2004.

His birth centenary was celebrated under the auspices of the P. N. Panicker Foundation in 2010.
