Abstrakt: Reading is considered essential for the overall development of a human being. However, with the advent of modern digital technologies, especially the growing popularity of social networking on the web, mobile phones, televisions, and other means of entertainment, the reading habit of the general public, especially the younger generation, is undergoing a decline. This paper tries to assess the reading habit of the students of a leading public university in Bangladesh and identify the trends in their reading habit. Reading and other activities of the respondents have been analyzed to find out how reading habit is affected by various other elements. Based on the findings of a questionnaire-based survey, the paper also attempts to put forward recommendations for improving the reading habit of young students in particular and the larger cross-sections of people in general.
