Gandhi Jayanti is celebrated on October 2 every year to mark the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. It is observed across states and territories in India, and is one of the officially declared national holidays.

On this day, people celebrate with prayer services, commemorative ceremonies and cultural events that are held in colleges, local government institutions and socio-political institutions. The statues of Mahatma Gandhi are decorated with garlands and flowers. His favourite song Raghupati Raghava is also sung at some of the meetings. His birth anniversary is celebrated in other parts of the world too.

People honour Gandhi’s contributions towards the Indian Independence movement, and his non-violent way of life. He led the Dandi Salt March in 1930. In 1942, he launched the Quit India Movement. He was also instrumental in abolishing the age-old practice of untouchability.

Meanwhile, the President and Prime Minister of India usually pay homage at Raj Ghat, the Samadhi of Mahatma Gandhi in New Delhi.

On June 15, 2007, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution that declared October 2 as International Day of Non-Violence.  The resolution reaffirms “the universal relevance of the principle of non-violence” and the desire “to secure a culture of peace, tolerance, understanding and non-violence”.

READING DAY 19 JUNE 2020

Puthuvayil Narayana Panicker (1 March 1909 – 19 June 1995)

 is known as the Father of the Library Movement in the Indian

 state of Kerala.[1] The activities of the Kerala Grandhasala Sangham

 that he initiated triggered a popular cultural movement in Kerala 

which produced universal literacy in the state in the 1990s.

Early Life

Panicker was born on 1 March 1909 in Jamjamjum to Govinda 

Pillai and Janaky Amma at Neelamperoor,Pn panikar India.[2] 

In 1926 he started the Sanadanadharmam Library as a teacher

 in his hometown.[3] he was a teacher and his influence on 

society was much greater than many of his time.

Contributions

Panicker led the formation of Thiruvithaamkoor Granthasala Sangham 

(Travancore Library Association) in 1945 with 47 rural libraries. 

The slogan of the organization was 'Read and Grow'. Later on,.

 with the formation of Kerala State in 1956, it became Kerala 

Granthasala Sangham (KGS). He traveled to the villages of 

Kerala proclaiming the value of reading. He succeeded in

 bringing some 6,000 libraries into this network. Grandhasala Sangham

 won the prestigious ‘Krupsakaya Award’ from UNESCO in 1975. 

KANFED

After his organization was taken over by the State, Panicker became

 subject to political interference. In 1977 he responded by founding the 

Kerala Association for Non-formal Education and Development (KANFED).

 KANFED was instrumental in starting the Kerala State Literacy Mission, 

which led Kerala to its universal literacy movement. Thus, Kerala became 

the first state which achieved universal literacy.

Panicker took a keen interest in promoting Agricultural Books Corners, 

The Friendship Village Movement (Sauhrudagramam), Reading Programmes 

for Families, Grants for Books and building libraries and Best Reader’s Award

 P.N. Panicker Foundation.

Legacy

Panicker died on 19 June 1995, at age 86.[4] The Government of Kerala

 acknowledged his contributions and ordered that 19 June be observed, 

annually, as Vaayanadinam (READING DAY ) with a week-long series

 of activities at schools and public institutions to honor his contributions

 to the cause of literacy, education and library movement.
