               WORLD BOOK AND COPYRIGHT DAY

                      “You can find magic wherever you look. Sit back and relax. All you need is a book.”                      Dr. Seuss
       Rediscovering the timeless magic of books was celebrated on the World Book Day. April 2020 will be etched in history as the beginning of another
       era with regard to reading books. The unwarranted confinement to our personal spaces has compelled us to be vociferous tech-oriented readers.
       The conventional World Book day has become World E-book Day for the current generation. All tech-savvy students and staff of DGPS made it a
       point to read e-books or conventional print books.
