Books open the door to imagination, knowledge, and lifelong learning. To nurture these qualities, Chinmay International School, Karjan introduced a 20-minute daily Reading Session starting from 22 April 2025. This initiative is designed to cultivate reading habits, improve language proficiency, and enhance cognitive skills among students across all grades.
