Resources in Library
“வாசிப்பை நேசிப்போம்” – Let Us Love Reading
Sri Balaji Arts & Science College, Kolapakkam, Chennai, has introduced a new initiative in the college library titled “வாசிப்பை நேசிப்போம்” (Let Us Love Reading) for the benefit of students from all departments. This innovative programme aims to cultivate reading habits, promote Tamil language and literature, improve concentration, and encourage students to develop a positive and mindful approach to learning.
The initiative comprises three meaningful activities: Tamil Newspaper Reading, Thirukkural Reading, and Meditation. Tamil newspaper reading helps students stay informed about current affairs, improve their language skills, and develop social awareness. Thirukkural reading introduces students to the timeless wisdom of Thiruvalluvar, fostering moral values, discipline, and ethical thinking. Meditation provides students with an opportunity to relax their minds, enhance concentration, reduce academic stress, and develop emotional well-being.
Through this initiative, the college library is envisioned not merely as a place for accessing books but also as a centre for intellectual growth, cultural awareness, and personal development. Students from all departments are encouraged to participate actively and make these activities part of their daily routine. The programme reflects the institution’s commitment to nurturing knowledgeable, disciplined, and responsible individuals by integrating reading, values, and mindfulness into campus life.
