"Today I stand and pledge with the full faith of my ability to grow through reading. I pledge to promote the development of my country through judicious reading of knowledge resources in print/ digital mediums. I shall respect myself and others too. I shall shine the light of knowledge gained, to solve the problems I face as well as the challenges affecting my country. I realize that today we face multiple challenges, be it poverty, unemployment, pandemic, natural calamities, corruption, substance abuse, climate change, etc. I shall make reading a habit and be a solution to these challenges. I shall ensure the best compliance to the legal framework of my country and shall strive for a secure and secular atmosphere. I shall strive to raise high, the value of knowledge, and the pride of my country with my thoughts, words, and deeds." (HAVE YOU READ THE PLEDGE?) * *
