(MENAFN- Kashmir Observer) New Delhi- Stating that the digital world has changed the perspective of human beings, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Thursday said that books only can provide“true knowledge.”

Talking to reporters on the sidelines of the World book Fair here, LG Sinha said,“The digital world has changed human perspectives. It can provide inspiration, but not true knowledge (gyan). Books only can provide true knowledge. Youth need to become avid readers if they want to build their lives.”

LG Sinha during his visit to the Fair commended the endeavour of National Book Trust, India, under the Ministry of Education, Government of India, for providing an engaging platform to book lovers, publishers and authors.

He has also asked the National Book Trust to regularly organise annual book festivals in Jammu and Srinagar.

After his visit the Lieutenant Governor posted on X:“World Book Fair is the ideal opportunity to promote reading habit, celebrate the contribution of literary communities, keep track of new ideas and invite writers and citizens for cultural exchange and intellectual discourse to expand our horizon.”

“A book is the best companion, which offers new ideas and perspectives in our life journey. It is the best medium for thinkers, scientists and spiritualists to preserve and carry forward the wealth of knowledge for the benefit of future generations,” he added.
