Delhi Book Fair: Calling all bibliophiles, stationery lovers to unite

Are your a hoarder of books or fan of quirky stationery? If yes, then look no further because the Delhi Book Fair has made its return to the Capital, and this time it’s reclaiming its pre-Covid original slot of the monsoon month. “Since youngsters are the ones who keep our fair lively, this event is designed in a way that they easily find whatever caters to their particular taste,” informs Ramesh K Mittal, president, The Federation of Indian Publishers, adding, “Books that have contributed to the fabric of our nation’s culture will be available in huge numbers. This year FIP is celebrating its golden jubilee hence the fair is extra special for us.” “More than 100 participants are there as part of the two fairs and our efforts are aimed at promoting the physical form of books,” says Hema Maity, general manager, India Trade Promotion Organisation, adding, “Youngsters are reading prolifically, but in the digital era we are striving to keep the physical copies alive through this. We have also planned several cultural and educational events on the first three days of the fair including kavi sammelan by the Authors Guild of India, author interaction sessions, plays, and seminars.” Catch It Live What: 27th Delhi Book Fair and 22nd Stationery Fair Where: Halls 11, 12 and 12A and Halls 3 and 4, Pragati Maidan, Bhairon Marg When: July 29 to August 2 Timing: 10am to 6pm Nearest Metro Station: Supreme Court on the Blue Line Entry: Free Author tweets @KritiKambiri For more stories follow Facebook and Twitter
