The Department of English celebrated Reading Week from 19 th to 23 rd of June, 2023. Students set up a Reading Corner, and organised Book Swap Fair. Dr Annie Susan Mathew, former Head of the Dept of English, along with Ms Susmitha Ann Varghese, President of the ELA, inaugurated the programme, and spoke on the importance of reading with sensitivity. She familiarised the students with one of her favourite books, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, by John Boyne. Students organised a Book Swap Fair where they swapped books among themselves. The students spoke about their favourite books. They also gave their opinions about books and the programme on sticky notes, and pinned those on the notice board.
