undertakes the responsibility of the event. With the help of the event,
UNESCO aims to inculcate reading habits among people, especially the
youth and highlight the various issues surrounding authors, publishers

of books and writing, there is always a focus on the issue on the World
Book Day. That's why, in many parts of the world, this day is also known
