To emphasise on the skills of reading the National Reading Day was declared by our honorary Prime Minister to be celebrated in the honour of Narayana Panicker, the father of library movement in Kerala on 19th June (his death anniversary). 

On Wednesday, 27th July 2022 Dream World School organised National Reading Day.
