Jalandhar, November 14, 2026: On the occasion of National Library Day on November 14, the Guru Nanak Dev Library at Lyallpur Khalsa College, Jalandhar, launched a new initiative to foster an interest in reading among students. Under this initiative, a student who demonstrates a keen interest in reading and maintains a strong, active engagement with the library will be honored annually on National Library Day with the 'Best Library Student' award.
Marking the commencement of this tradition, College Principal Dr. Rashpal Singh Sandhu and Librarian S. Satinder Singh Deol selected and honored Jashanpreet, a student of M.A. History (Semester I), as the 'Best Library Student'.
Principal Dr. Rashpal Singh Sandhu encouraged students to read as many books as possible and to make regular use of the library. He remarked that books are a person's true friends. The habit of reading broadens one's perspective, enhances knowledge, and plays a crucial role in the holistic development of one's personality. He urged the students not only to become avid readers but also to grow into aware, insightful, and responsible citizens. The primary objective of this initiative is to motivate students to explore literary, historical, and informative books—beyond their prescribed textbooks—thereby fostering a culture of reading and contributing to their intellectual and personal growth. This recognition will be presented annually on the occasion of National Library Day, ensuring that students remain consistently inspired to engage with books and advance within the realm of knowledge.
