India Gets Reading - Room to Read India’s annual flagship annual campaign that promotes and celebrates children’s connection with reading turns seven this year. The campaign brings together children, families, schools, and communities to highlight the joy, purpose and pride that reading brings into children’s lives. The 2025 campaign theme — “My book, my story”, focuses on making space for every child to see themselves in stories. It highlights the importance of children finding their language, identity and everyday experiences reflected in the books they read. The theme also emphasizes shared reading spaces between children, caregivers and teachers, where stories become a common ground for empathy, expression and joyful learning.

Aligned with the goals of the National Education Policy 2020 and NIPUN Bharat Mission, the campaign encourages children to read together, share their stories and grow as expressive, confident individuals. It also reinforces our collective responsibility to nurture reading environments that are inclusive, participatory and meaningful.
Last year, the campaign reached over 44 lakh participants. This year, we aim to go further and reach even more children, especially those still unreached. Join us in championing a movement that’s shaping a culture of reading and learning for generations to come. For participation enquiries, write to us at [email protected]
