Abstract

Reading serves as a powerful tool for deepening self-awareness and can be a transformative journey toward personal growth. This study aims to explore the reading habits of students enrolled in government arts and commerce colleges in the Banaskantha District, with a particular focus on assessing the inspiration of internet usage on these habits. A total of 150 students were selected through random sampling to participate in the survey. The findings shed light on students’ reading preferences, frequency of reading, favored types of literature, factors shaping their reading behavior, and the extent to which digital media and ICT tools impact their reading patterns.
