National Book Foundation Initiates Innovative Projects in Sargodha Division

The National Book Foundation (NBF) has initiated a range of innovative projects in Sargodha division to promote book reading and revive the declining tradition of reading among the community. According to Zahoor Ahmed Qureshi, an official of NBF in Sargodha district, book reading was once a popular pastime where people found joy in reading and discussing books. However, this tradition has been gradually fading away in recent times.

To combat this decline, NBF has introduced various initiatives such as forming book clubs, providing special learning materials for slow learners, establishing prisoners' free mind book clubs, senior citizen book clubs, travellers' book clubs (Books on Wheels), flying book clubs, and hospital book clubs. Additionally, the foundation has responded to the market demand by publishing multiple editions of favorite books and has made these books available for sale in different cities within Sargodha division, including an online book shop operated by NBF. Members of readers club and registered NBF members are benefiting from attractive discounts on book purchases.

In conclusion, the efforts of NBF in Sargodha division are commendable as they strive to reignite the passion for reading and create a vibrant literary culture within the community. By implementing these innovative schemes, NBF is not only promoting book reading but also fostering a sense of community engagement and intellectual growth among individuals of all ages and backgrounds.
