Reading decline

The increasing prevalence of social media, televisions, video games and other means of digital entertainment has led to a decline in reading culture. Furthermore, many schools and universities in Pakistan lack library facilities, making it difficult for students to access books and develop a reading habit.

There is a need to create a cultural shift where reading is valued and promoted as an essential part of personal growth and development. It can be achieved through initiatives like literary festivals, book clubs and also reading competitions.
