There are some great books which left a deep impressions on me or gave a new vision to see the world. If we could seek legal rights to convert such books in all regional languages and make them easier to understand with corollaries applicable in our context for general people, it would no doubt have a great impact. We don't have money to have 'libraries'or 'Chapters' in every mohallas, but such a move could help us greatly. Most of people miss this knowledge due to lower speed in English readin

The proposed policy is good. There are some points to be emphasized before finalizing the policy. Publishing the books is a herculean task. Hence, the policy should address this issue so that emerging authors are encouraged to write books. It may be in the form of grant or some other financial help to the new authors.

The main and most common reason of the youth evading and avoiding books, is these being too costly for the youth to get their hands on them on them. Further, there is also dearth of books bearing quality contents. THE SALIENT FEATURE OF NATIONAL BOOK PROMOTION POLICY (NBPP) HAS TO BE TO ENSURE PRODUCTION, PUBLISHING AND AVAILABILITY OF QUALITY BOOKS AT RATES THAT THE POPULACE WITH MEAGRE MEANS MAY BE ABLE TO MANAGE. SHOULD BE TAKEN AS A CHALLENGE.

We should create a policy of minimum volunteer hours to be eligible for government jobs, these will keep million of unemployed engaged, unemployed have free time , they can read books for children and uneducated. ReCAPTCHA method https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReCAPTCHA it can be be used on heavily used IRCTC website to digitize Indian books and manuscripts

The onerous task of making available the books to as vast segment of populace as possible, is in a way a task towards laying foundation of formation of strong youth force. The habit of keeping company of books is key to character-building. But, today we find in rarity. THE SEVERAL DEFICIENCIES WE COME TO WITNESS AMONG OUR YOUTH, HAVE THEIR ROOTS TO THE YOUTH EXHIBITING LITTLE OR NO INTEREST IN BOOKS, OR ANY THE SORT OF READING MATERIAL. BOOKS NEED REACH EVERY HOUSE-HOLD. A NATIONAL TASK AT THAT.
