At the end of the day if we are talking about lets say 500 Crores worth of funds, there is no point discussing the policy at all, so please give some sense of the money involved and how is it being currently utilised and what is it that the government is proposing to change and how will the new policy change the allocation of funds. What is the cost range of a library, Capex and maintenance

I cursorily went through the policy. When we make any policy statement in a company we typically allocate a fund for that as well as clearly state the timelines. Here everything is left vague .. there is no talk about for example how many seminars in libraries, how many workshops, by when.. how many library festivals by when etc, what is the funding requirement, who will fund. Kindly review the policies and make them more precise. I am seeing a lot of government policies uploaded with same prob.

Certain really good literature (ie recommended books) and science books should be made digital and available for free download at government website. Also all boards textbooks should be available for free download at one single website. Some books which may be recommended should also be available at the same place. This should be a government website so that no ads etc

Today no one will go and read in a distant library because probably its more expensive to travel than to just buy that book. Hence, suppose there are five libraries in a city. The books between such libraries can be rotated with some periodicity so that books are available to all

A team of Indians can work with wikipedia to convert a lot of pages into vernacular languages continuously, till such time when technology comes up to translate better. This can be further enhanced by making a good hindi, gujarati, assamese reading softwares which can read any selected web content available. Make cheaper access to knowledge sites.

The explosive growth of smartphones have made the internet accessible to every nook and corner of the country. The NBPP should take into account, how the internet can be harnessed to make e-books accessible to the masses.Today's youth is far more comfortable reading content on a phone rather than purchasing a book for it. We should teach/ educate them in the language and format that they understand and appreciate.

As we are discussed on NBPP, this is basically promotion of our publication. as we know our education system is based on western education system that's we need foreign author and its publisher. few things for improvement. 1.change our education system first to last. 2.course structure is based on our society ,culture,economic,politics, and current issues, then encourage the writer to write something whether they write individual or in group. 3.open Library,free within community.

Text Books uss rajya ke bacchon ki bol chaal waali bhasha me likhi jaye jo uss book ko padhengey. Bachhey jis standard ki boli apas me doston ke saath ya apne mata pita ke saath boltey hain...usi standard ki bhasha ka prayog unki book me hona chahiye. Kaaran..-- "Agar hum itney barey hokar v Unki star ki/standard ki bhasha nahi bana saktey to hum itne chhotey bachhon se yahi ummeed kaisey kar saktey hain" Iss kaam ke liye main sahyog karna chhahunga agar dusro ko yeh baat thik lagi ho to.

Hindi text-books mein hindi ko aur asaan banaya jaye. Yaani bol chaal ki bhasha. Khaaskar bachhon ke textbook bol chaal ki bhasha, jo bachhey maa baap ke saath boltey hain, me likhi jaani chahiye. Iskey do fayde hongey: 1. Bacchey concept samajh payenge 2. Unke maa-baap v unhey samjhaa sakenge ager bachhey khud na samajh paye warna wo bhasha me hi ulajh kar reh jaatey hain.

•Approachable public & school libraries should have books on wide range of interests in regional languages •Funds should be released by govt to liberalize formalities for authors so that less price books are available •More awards should be distributed to increase interest of people to write quality books •Quizzes should be organised in schools on books and authors •Slogans in all possible languages containing the names of books should be spread among the citizens as it is more easy to learn
