Reading Club 

My Role as Co-Coordinator

As a faculty member in the Department of Computer Applications, I proudly serve as the co-coordinator of the Reading Club at BVM Holy Cross College, Cherpunkal, alongside Mr. Abin Jose. In this role, I actively contribute to the planning, organization, and execution of diverse literary and student engagement activities throughout the academic year. The Reading Club serves as a vibrant platform for students to explore literature, express their creativity, and develop essential skills such as critical thinking, communication, and reflective reading.

Vision and Purpose

The Reading Club is dedicated to fostering a strong and consistent reading culture among undergraduate students. Our vision is to create a community where reading is not seen as a task, but as a joyful, enriching, and lifelong habit—a means to broaden both the intellect and imagination. Through thoughtfully curated activities, the club promotes academic enrichment, creativity, empathy, and a deeper appreciation for literature and language.

 Proposed Activities 

As part of our vision to foster a vibrant reading culture on campus, the Reading Club has proposed a thoughtful series of activities for the academic year 2025–26. Planned initiatives include a Reading Day Celebration to highlight the importance of literature in daily life, Reading Challenges and Competitions to promote consistent reading habits, and a Reading Room Beautification project to create an inspiring space for student readers.

The club also aims to host Author and Local Writer Interactions to provide literary exposure, as well as a Book Collection Drive and a Library Visit with Book Donation to encourage community sharing and social responsibility. Additional highlights include a Book Exhibition to inspire genre exploration, a Guest Talk titled “The Joy of Reading” to cultivate lifelong interest in reading, and Monthly Book Review Sessions focused on developing critical thinking, public speaking, and analytical skills.
