As per the guidelines of Savitribai Phule Pune University to celebrate VACHAN PRERANA DIWAS, we
at PIMSE organized a “Book Review Competition” in the memory of the birth anniversary of Late Dr. A.
P. J. Abdul Kalam on 18 th October 2021 at Library, PIMSE. There is an old saying, “The pen is mightier
than the sword”. For implementing this theme we should inculcate the habit of reading and research so as
to develop innovative ideas and bring this into practice. Reading is important because it develops the
mind, discover new things, and it helps to improve the imagination process. It also develops the creative
side of people and also develops a good self-image. The event started with speech of our Incharge
Director Dr.Porinita Banerjee who briefed us about the importance of reading and then followed by the
guidance session of the Chief guest Mrs. Sanober Bashir Kazi, Librarian Law College Hadapsar. Further
there were students presenting on the review of their favorite book. There were 7 students who presented
their review from all courses. After their performance the chief guest announced the winners of the event.
They were as follows : Amanda D’mello, Nurain Shaikh and Sunil Kamble. The event was successfully
organized under the guidance of Incharge Director, Dr. Porinita Banerjee, Dr. Mubarak Tamboli
(Librarian) faculty members Dr. Sheena Abraham, Dr. Payal Samdariya, Mr. Talha Ahmad, Mrs. Lubna
Shaikh.
