The Ministry of Human Resource Development’s National Book Trust (NBT) on Wednesday announced that it will be making over 100 e-books available in multiple languages as part of its ‘#StayHomeIndiaWithBooks’ initiative to encourage reading during the 21-day lockdown.
“In the wake of Preventive Measures of the Government of India to contain the spread of COVID-19, and to encourage people to #StayIn and #StayHome, the National Book Trust of HRD Ministry, in its efforts to encourage people to read books while at home, is providing its select and best-selling titles for FREE Download as part of its initiative of #StayHomeIndiaWithBooks,” Ministry of Human Resource Development said in an official statement.
