C.V. Raman College of Engineering, Bhubaneswar established in the year 1997, is one of the premier technical institutes in India. CVRCE, through its dept of HSS, which is run by well-qualified and well-trained faculty members, has reached out to all the primary and secondary schools in the vicinity of their campus through mobile vans to spread the joy of reading.

Helping young students, unemployed adults and housewives cultivate the habit of reading through reading cluster clubs, reading sessions and quizzes.

Regular evening reading sessions followed by interesting quiz competitions are held periodically to sustain the motivation level of the participants; Sunday reading sessions are held on a regular basis. Participants borrow popular novels, short stories, science fictions etc from our library and enjoy reading. With 300 enrolled members, readership continues to steadily grow to vindicate the popularity of the program. 

CVRCE plans to turn this program into a peripatetic program to reach the underdeveloped areas of Odisha. They aspire to have their reading clubs in the most backward subdivisions, through mobile vans, with a special focus on the KBK districts where the rate of school dropouts is maximum in Odisha. We think CVRCE is making an honest effort to encourage reading and eliminate ignorance.
