Study materials for students preparing for competitive exams, various publications and their materials will also be available at the book fair.
Vice president of Hyderabad National Book Fair, K Chandra Mohan, said, “As the reading habit is disappearing among people due to the rise in technology, hence we have started a campaign, in which few book enthusiasts and few authors will be posting informative clippings on how reading is a good habit so as to motivate and encourage people to start reading.”
The fair, he stated, was organised on a smaller scale with limited stalls for the past two years owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, he stated that year over 300 stalls will be set up and encouraged young authors to display their books.
A donation box will be set up like always, wherein interested people can give away old books which will be donated to various libraries in districts and to various government schools.
