‘Literacy is the road to human progress’. Literacy is the prime requisite for learning and plays a vital role in the development of a country. To elaborate the same, a special assembly on International Literacy day was conducted in Presidium Hisar by the students of grade 3. Students presented a beautiful speech and expressed their thoughts on literacy. The aim was to highlight the importance of literacy amongst individuals, communities and societies. It was a great learning for the audience. A play was also organized depicting the importance of reading and writing. The day concluded with a pledge taken by all to lend a ‘Reading’ hand on this Literacy Day and spread education all around.
