Governor Encourages Gifting Books Instead of Bouquets
The Governor of Hyderabad, Jishnu Dev Varma, has suggested that people consider gifting meaningful books rather than bouquets during special occasions and celebrations. He believes books make a more thoughtful and lasting gift.
The Governor shared this idea during his visit to the Hyderabad Book Fair, held at NTR Stadium. While addressing the audience, he emphasized the importance of encouraging younger generations to develop a habit of reading. He urged elders to inspire children and youth to reconnect with books in today’s digital age.
Governor Dev Varma highlighted the unique charm of printed books, stating that they offer a special experience that surpasses e-books. According to him, reading a physical book feels like having a direct conversation with the author, creating a deeper connection with their thoughts.
He also underlined the value of books in helping individuals gain knowledge and insights about the world. Additionally, he acknowledged the growing popularity of audiobooks, which make accessing literature even more convenient for readers today.
