What?
Members of the Book Club will meet on the last day of every month to discuss their thoughts on a particular book, what they liked in the book, what they learnt from it. Softcopy of that book will be provided to every member, and each member has to read that book in a one month’s time. On the last day of the month, the members of the club will discuss about the book.The choice of that one book which will be read each month will rest in the hands of Library Deptt.
When?
The Inauguration Ceremony of Book Club will be on Monday 31st Oct after 12:30PM in School Library.
Why?
Now you may ask, we already have Readers Club, what was the need for this? Or How Book Club is different from Readers Club?
The answer is, while the Readers Club members are responsible for overall library promotion/planning competitions and giving suggestions for book purchase etc., Book Club will focus only on improving “widespread reading”!
Who can Join?
Any student from Class VI-X , who has genuine love for reading different genres of Book.

2021 Theme: Ecosystem Restoration
The theme for World Environment Day 2021 is “Ecosystem Restoration”.
Ecosystem restoration can take many forms: Growing trees, greening cities, rewilding gardens, changing diets or cleaning up rivers and coasts. This is the generation that can make peace with nature.Ecosystem restoration means assisting in the recovery of ecosystems that have been degraded or destroyed, as well as conserving the ecosystems that are still intact.
Restoration can happen in many ways – for example through actively planting or by removing pressures so that nature can recover on its own. It is not always possible – or desirable – to return an ecosystem to its original state. We still need farmland and infrastructure on land that was once forest, for instance, and ecosystems, like societies, need to adapt to a changing climate.
2021 Host Country: Pakistan
Every World Environment Day is hosted by a different country, in which official celebrations take place, and this year’s host is Pakistan.
What is Ecosystem Restoration
We often talk about ecosystems and restoration but do we really know what it implies and entails and what one can do for it locally? Check out these points on ecosystem restoration.
- Ecosystem restoration implies “assisting in the recovery of ecosystems that have been degraded or destroyed”.
- It also includes conservation of the ecosystems that are fragile or still intact.
- The ecosystem can be restored in many ways. Planting trees is one of the easiest and best ways of caring for the environment.
- Peopole also need to eliminate pressures on the environment.
- Urban and rural landscapes have different ways to adapt and restore ecosystem

We are back to celebrate the “PUSTAKOUPHAR” initiative!!!
यह कोई संदेह नहीं है कि एक अच्छी पुस्तक हमेशा सौ दोस्तों से बेहतर होती है, पुस्तकें एक पीढ़ी से दूसरी पीढ़ी तक जानकारी का वास्तविक स्रोत होती हैं, इस प्रकार पीढ़ी अंतराल को भरने में हमारे-स्वयं को सक्षम बनाती हैं। ज्ञान वृद्धि के लिए सूचना पारित करना एक महत्वपूर्ण कार्य है। केविसं. एक संस्था के रूप में मानव के जीवन में पुस्तकों की आवश्यकता को समझता है, लेकिन कुछ समय के लिए सोचें, क्या हर कोई एक पुस्तक खरीदने में सक्षम है ???, इसका उत्तर स्पष्ट रूप से ‘नही’ है !!!!!! तो इस समस्या को दूर करने के लिए केविसं ‘पुस्तकोपहार’ के रूप में एक अभिनव पहल के साथ आया, जहां छात्रों को पिछले वर्ष उत्तीर्ण सत्र की अपनी किताबें दान करने के लिए प्रेरित किया जाता है।
एक शैक्षणिक वर्ष की शुरुआत से पहले सभी आयु वर्गों के छात्रों द्वारा अपेक्षाकृत नई प्रयोग की जाने वाली पुस्तकों का उपयोग करने के उद्देश्य से ‘पुस्तकोपहार‘ (जूनियर छात्रों को पाठ्यपुस्तकों प्रदान करना) की अवधारणा विकसित की गई है। यह किताबें कम आर्थिक पृष्ठभूमि के बच्चों के लिए विशेष रूप से उपयोगी होती हैं, जो शिक्षा का खर्च उठाने में सक्षम होने के बावजूद शैक्षणिक सत्र का खर्च उठाने में असमर्थ हैं। इस तरह एक कदम के साथ, पाठ्य पुस्तकों को एक नया जीवन देने का अवसर लाता है, छात्रों के बीच संबंध बनाने की भावना पैदा करता है। छात्र जिम्मेदार नैतिक व्यवहार सीखते हैं और प्रदर्शन करते हैं, और पैसे और पर्यावरण को बचाने के लिए एक छात्र के रुप में अपना योगदान करते हैं।
अत: सभी छात्रों से अनुरोध है कि इस कार्यक्रम में आगे आएं एवं अपनी पाठ्यपुस्तक और अन्य संबंधित अध्ययन सामग्री तत्काल जूनियर्स को पुस्तकालय के माध्यम से दें।
HOW TO DONATE BOOKS DURING LOCKDOWN:
It is a humble request to all the Parents and Children that if you have last year’s gently used Textbooks with you, Kindly Donate it to us, we will donate these books to students who need it. Those who are ready to give their old Textbooks are requested to wrap all the books that you wish to donate in one carry bag and write your name and class on it.

LIBRARY WEEK CELEBRATIONS-AT A GLANCE
#BEDTIME STORY READING
PUSTAKOUPAHAR INITIATIVE- AT A GLANCE
Thank you for Supporting this great initiative!!
PUSTAKOUPAHAR 2022-23
It is no doubt that a good book is always better than hundred friends. Books are the real source of passing information from one generation to another, thus enabling our-self in filling the generation gap. Information passing is an important act for knowledge growth. KVS as an institution which understands the need of books in the life of a human, but think for a while, is everybody able to purchase a book???, the answer is clearly NOOOO!!!!!!
So to overcome this problem KVS came with an innovative Initiative in the form of ‘Pustakoupahar‘, where students are motivated to donate their books to previous year passed students.
The concept of ’Pustakoupahar’ (Passing over of the textbooks to juniors students) has been developed with the objective of using relatively new-used books by the students of all age groups before the beginning of an academic year. The books are especially useful for children from low economic backgrounds, who in spite of being able to afford education, are unable to afford academic session. Beside a step like this brings an opportunity to let the text books have a new life, inculcate a spirit of bonding between students. The students learn and exhibit responsible moral behavior, and contribute a student’s effort towards saving money and environment.
Therefore, students are requested to come forward and give their textbooks and other related study material to the immediate juniors through Library.
