Developing reading habit

The habit of reading books helps us groom ourselves in a better way. It playsan immense role in the progress of any nation. Reading is the most creative and beneficial skill, which shows the lightened ways of development. Avid readers are actual leaders. However, when we try to find this habit of reading in the youths of Bangladesh, we find a grim picture.Most of our youthsare not ready to spare time on reading. They mostly remain engaged with their mobile phones or laptops. Reading is no longer a hobby for our youngsters.

Reading books opens broader ways of thinking. It provides a platform, where many ideas can be shared. In my view, no nation can be elevated without reading books. So, the youths of our country must make a habit of reading books.And, we need to open all closed books to learn standard merits of development for the sake of personal betterment as well as for the country.
