Publication Board, Assam to host three new book fairs
From 2022, the Assam Publication Board (PBA) would hold four book fairs in various districts of the state. In an interview with The Sentinel, APB secretary Pramod Kalita stated that the Education Department just made a judgement in this regard.
It is pertinent to mention that for the past several years, the APB has been organizing one book year annually – The Guwahati Book Fair at the Chandmari Playground.
According to Kalita, three other book fairs would be arranged in collaboration with the North-East Book Sellers’ Association in Dhemaji, Jorhat, and Bongaigaon. The book fair in Dhemaji will begin on November 4, the one in Jorhat on December 2, and the classic one in Guwahati on December 29. The date for the book fair at Bongaigaon has not been finalized as yet, Kalita added.
