+# Reading and Writing a CSV File
+There are various ways to read a CSV file that uses either the CSV module or the pandas library.
+
+- csv Module: The CSV module is one of the modules in Python which provides classes for reading and     writing tabular information in CSV file format.
+
+- pandas Library: The pandas library is one of the open-source Python libraries that provide high-performance, convenient data structures and data analysis tools and techniques for Python programming.
+
+* **Read using csv.DictReader() class:** the CSV file is first opened using the open() method then it is read by using the DictReader class of csv module which works like a regular reader but maps the information in the CSV file into a dictionary. The very first line of the file consists of dictionary keys.
