The Readers' Forum is a vibrant activity for book lovers aiming at excellence in the field of expression by inculcating the habit of reading in its members. The members of the forum are exposed to the benefits of systematic reading. Each one of them is allowed to choose a book of their liking. On finishing the book, the students have to share it with their fellow readers during the forum. Students are also given guidance in the art of review writing for the books they read. The exercise of review writing proves to be a good tool for maintenance of individual Reading Logs by the students. In the Annual Exhibition, the yearlong efforts of the Readers’ Forum Group are seen and appreciated by one and all.
