Monthly Book Review Activity

 Monthly Book Review Activity

The school library successfully organized the Monthly Book Review Activity for students of Classes VI to VIII as part of its ongoing reading promotion initiatives. Conducted in the respective class libraries, the activity aimed to cultivate a lifelong reading habit, enhance comprehension skills, and encourage students to become thoughtful and confident readers.



Students enthusiastically participated by selecting books of their choice from the class library and presenting their reviews before their classmates. They shared concise summaries of the stories, introduced the main characters, discussed the central themes, and highlighted the moral values and life lessons they had learned. Their thoughtful presentations reflected not only their understanding of the books but also their ability to analyze and interpret different literary works.



A special feature of the programme was the opportunity for students to express their personal opinions about the books they read. They recommended their favourite titles to their peers, creating an engaging atmosphere where students inspired one another to explore new books and authors. The interactive discussions that followed each review encouraged curiosity, critical thinking, and meaningful conversations about literature.

The activity also helped students develop essential life skills such as public speaking, effective communication, vocabulary enrichment, confidence, and analytical thinking. By sharing their reading experiences, students learned to appreciate diverse perspectives and gained greater confidence in expressing their ideas before an audience.


The Monthly Book Review Activity once again highlighted the library's role as a vibrant learning space that nurtures creativity, imagination, and independent thinking. Through such initiatives, the library continues to motivate students to read beyond their textbooks, discover the joy of literature, and become lifelong learners.

"A book review is not just a summary of a story—it is a reflection of a reader's understanding, imagination, and love for books." 📚✨

 Book Review: Atal Bal Hindi Kavita Sangrah

Celebrating Young Minds Through the Power of Hindi Poetry

The school library is delighted to present Atal Bal Hindi Kavita Sangrah – 2025, a remarkable anthology of original Hindi poems written by school students from across India. Published by the Office of the Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks, Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Government of India, the collection commemorates the 101st birth anniversary of Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee while promoting creativity, literary expression, and awareness of Intellectual Property Rights among young learners. 

Atal Bal Hindi Kavita Sangrah


The message in the book highlights that the youth of India are the driving force behind the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047. Inspired by the vision of Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the anthology was created through a nationwide original Hindi poetry competition that encouraged students to express their ideas, emotions, patriotism, and creativity through poetry. The initiative not only nurtures literary talent but also spreads awareness about the importance of respecting original creations and intellectual property.

The anthology features 100 selected poems written by students from different schools and states of India. These poems beautifully capture the thoughts, dreams, emotions, and aspirations of young writers. The themes covered in the collection are diverse and relevant to contemporary society, making it an engaging read for children, teachers, and parents alike.

One of the most inspiring aspects of the book is its strong sense of patriotism and national pride.

The collection also addresses important social and moral values. Poems like "लड़का-लड़की," "नारी," "शिक्षा सफर," "संविधान तो रचा," "सड़क सुरक्षा," "स्वच्छ भारत का आधार—नागरिक शिष्टाचार," and "स्वच्छता हमारे ख्वाब" encourage readers to reflect on gender equality, education, civic responsibility, cleanliness, constitutional values, and responsible citizenship. Through simple yet impactful language, these poems inspire young readers to become thoughtful and responsible members of society.

Another notable feature of the anthology is its emphasis on innovation, creativity, and intellectual property awareness. Poems such as "बौद्धिक सम्पदा नियम," "कल्पना बने आविष्कार," "ज्ञान का दीप," and "सृजन की लौ" inspire children to think creatively, value originality, and understand the importance of innovation and protecting creative ideas. These themes align perfectly with the objectives of fostering scientific temper and innovation among school students.

The anthology also celebrates hope, perseverance, and dreams through motivational poems like "मंजिल," "सपनों की ज्वाला," "विकसित भारत की नई उड़ान," "सतत विकास," and "एक दिन." These poems encourage students to work hard, remain optimistic, and contribute positively towards building a stronger and more developed India.

Why Every Student Should Read This Book

Atal Bal Hindi Kavita Sangrah – 2025 is much more than a poetry collection. It is a celebration of children's imagination, patriotism, creativity, and social awareness. The anthology demonstrates how young minds can express profound ideas through simple and meaningful poetry while developing confidence in creative writing.
