New Delhi: Human Resource and Development (HRD) Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal on Thursday launched a campaign titled ‘#MyBookMyFriend’ on Twitter to celebrate the World Book Day 2020.
On the occasion, Nishank exhorted everyone to read at least one book and share it on the social media using the hashtag ‘MyBookMyFriend’.
In a video uploaded by the HRD Minister on his Twitter handle, he is heard saying, “There could not be a better friend, a better strength, better motivator, and a better guide than books.”
He also advised students to develop a habit of reading 3 to 4 books apart from their text books.
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) organises World Book Day on April 23 every year to spread awareness on reading, copyright issues and publishing.
