June 06, 2020

Dear Parents,
Greetings of the Day!

On the occasion of World Book Day 2020, ‘My Book My Friend’ campaign was
launched by Hon’ble HRD Minister, Dr. Ramesh Pokhriyal - ‘Nishank’ to
encourage students to inculcate the habit of reading books.

Extraordinary circumstances like the Corona pandemic call for innovative new
paths to take the situation head on. The ongoing lockdown has not been a
barrier in the quest for learning at APS. After the success of our online
classes, we want all students of our school to be a part of this Reading
Campaign. We all know that books are a man’s best friend. Sitting within the
safe confines of your homes, you can still relish the joy of reading books of
your interest.

Mentioned below are a few sites/ links wherein you can explore books of your
choice and enjoy reading them:
