New Delhi: In a bid to encourage the habit of reading, the Human Resource Development Ministry wants to set up book stalls of the National Book Trust at railway stations and airports.
“We will get in touch with the Railway and the Civil Aviation ministries to enable NBT to set up book stalls in all railway stations and airports.
Not only that, books of all languages would be available in these stalls,” HRD Minister Smriti Irani said at the inaugural function of the New Delhi World Book Fair.
Irani also said NBT should publish books of budding and young writers in regional languages and set up book clubs in every district, while announcing her ministry’s plans to launch an initiative called ‘shodh yatri’ under which a five-member team of youngsters, a writer and a historian would be set up to travel to trace their roots and publish their findings in the form of a book.
