NEW DELHI :<\/strong> Publications Division, Ministry of I&B is participating in the New Delhi World Book Fair being organized at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi from 5th to 13th January, 2019. The Division today organised a discussion on \u2018Children\u2019s Literature and Young Readers Trapped in Electronic Gadgets\u2019 at the World Book Fair.<\/p>\n

The discussion highlighted the importance of books and their impact on children who in today\u2019s times are often found preoccupied in the world of modern day gadgets. A key point highlighted in the discussion was that while technology limits a child\u2019s imagination by presenting a fixed set of images, books magnify the child\u2019s imagination manifold by letting him build up the world he is reading about on his own.<\/p>\n

Publications Division also released ten books during the event \u2013 Saral Panchatantra Part I; Children\u2019s Vivekananda; Children\u2019s Mahabharat in English; Shekhawati ki Lok Sanskriti; Hamare Samay me Upanishad; Haar Ki Khushi; Maa Ka Janamdin; Bapu ki Vani; Ved Gatha; and Bal Mahabharat in Hindi.<\/p>\n

Saral Panchatantra Part I occupies pride of place in children\u2019s literature across the globe. Originally compiled in Sanskrit more than two millenniums ago, these inter-related fables teach the basic nuances of politics, governance along with everyday common sense.<\/p>\n
