Adjunct Professor of Indian Scientific Heritage facilitates sessions on “Rapid Reading Practice” for Engineering Students

Dr. S Ramakrishna Sharma, Adjunct Professor of Indian Scientific Heritage, recently held sessions for the first year engineering students about “Rapid Reading Practice” which is very essential for vast knowledge management. One has to observe the time taken for reading one page.


There are a few things to be taken care of and they are:
1. Peaceful reading environment
2. Proper light from the left side falling on the book
3. Right posture
4. Right distance between the book and the reader
5. No loud reading
6. Reading in the mind only – glancing in sweeps gradually upgrading from sentences to paragraphs and to a whole page by graded practice over the period of weeks.

The Mind-Camera can be made active by consistent practice.
