To educate and impart knowledge about the need of reading to the kids of class III to V, DAV Public School, Sector-49, Gurugram conducted a fabulous campaign that can make a huge difference to their lives. On the occasion of World Book Day, children carried out a fantastic array of activities such as story telling through puppets, enactment of their favourite book characters, show and tell about their favourite book etc. These fun activities showcased their inclusive interest in the task and also symbolize the power of books.
