World Book Day
World Book Day
World Book Day is celebrated every year on April 23. On this day, UNESCO takes all the responsibility for the events. It is generally observed that at certain events, UNESCO urges to increase the reading habits of books among the people around the world.
Sadly, in Pakistan books have lost their real essence as technology is dominant. Because of a decrease in book reading we face a shortage of intellectuals and scholars. Besides, it is important to note that book reading creates a reading environment and boosts critical thinking among our youth.
Therefore I suggest that the government of Pakistan shall take initiatives in order to create a reading culture among youths. Besides, bookstalls must be arranged at provincial cum local levels to spread awareness among people about the importance of book reading.
I hope the government of Balochistan will also make arrangements in schools, colleges, and universities to prioritize book reading.
