The culture of reading should grow more in people as it teaches values like analytical thinking and develops respect for different opinions, Human Resource Development Minister Prakash Javadekar said on Saturday.
Speaking at the inauguration of the New Delhi World Book Fair here, the Union Minister said the culture of reading offers “new dimensions” and life finds a “meaning”.
“Even if we read only 50 pages in a day we are filled with satisfaction. We find new thoughts, imagination, and possibilities. Books bring us so many different experiences of the world. I am happy that the culture of reading books is increasing in our country. And our life finds a meaning by reading. “We get new dimensions. I hope the culture of reading grows with exchange of thoughts, interest to analyse all opinions should increase too, and the respect towards all opinions should increase as well. And I believe reading books teaches us all these values,” he said.
