if we want that every one read the books we should change the pattern issue some visual books or add picture in books because most of the stories are understood by the pictures only, youth are busy in with their what's app and facebook so we should made some incomplete or mystery stories and spread the message to find out the complete one.

Hobby of reading books is fading away especially among children.We understand reading is important, so to inculcate the same in children ,the content of the books needs to be modified.Attempts should be made to make reading enjoyable and language used should be simple. The cost of books can be reduced and it should be easily accessible.

In this electronic age, reading habits is fading away....., Children spending their times on watching Cartoons, young people on whatsapp and internet leaving no room to study the books. It's a great challenge for writers to attract the readers. We are now in audio and visual world and print world has been washed away by these modern medium. Hence we should go for digitized library instead of keeping physical books.

It is Imperative that every single entity in the country, right from the village level,must have, at least the facility of a 'smart Reading Room', which may come handy to anyone willing to enter the arena of awareness. "AWARENESS TO ALL" MUST BE THE KEY-NOTE OF NATIONAL BOOK PROMOTION POLICY (NBPP). BUT SAD FACT IS THAT AT THE MOMENT EVEN THE CITIES LIKE JALANDHAR CITY ARE NOT WELL EQUIPPED IN THIS CONTEXT. BOOKS 📚 CAN BE USEFUL TOOLS IN THE HANDS OF THE YOUTH, GIVING BOOST TO THEIR POWER.

Dear PM, The authors do not get the kind of platform they should get in terms of content publicity..only certain kind of writing or categories are shaping the minds of we youth. There are books written on spiritual upheaval , ways of youth contributions to country, visions and future in science and other aspects, many many authors need better publicity. Even a good mobile app to promote good books. A national book rating and review system which is highly credible.

The Government should open a book bank in every district where people can donate their books.Further, to lure the young crowd the Book Bank can tie up with online websites and other brands to provide gift/ discount coupons to those who will give their book in charity. This would encourage everyone to be a part of a social cause.

Many research oriented, highly rated books such as "Molecular Biology of the Cell" costs about Rs.5,840 in amazon.in http://www.amazon.in/Molecular-Biology-Cell-Bruce-Alberts/dp/0815344643/ Govt. should bring plans to reduce the cost of such books in India. Its completely unaffordable for a common citizen
