This one is for book-lovers. Look forward to the book fair to be kicked off at the YMCA Hall from August 1 to 6, being organised by the State Institute of Languages.
The Institute, with the support of Dr V V Velukutty Arayan Foundation, is also organising a book release function at the Press Club on Wednesday, where the third edition of the biography of Velukutty Arayan, written by Vallikavu Mohandas, will be released by Minister for Cultural Affairs K C Joseph.
The book, brought out by the State Institute of Languages, was first released in May this year.
The book had met with an overwhelming response from the readers due to which its second edition had to be brought out in June itself. According to the Foundation representatives, the books in the second edition had also been sold out.
The third edition will be released by Minister by handing over a copy to former Cultural Affairs Minister M A Baby. BJP leader O Rajagopal will be the chief guest.
Velukutty Arayan was a leader of the Reformation Movement, social activist, freedom fighter, critic, orator and had left an imprint in many other fields too.
It was on the 43rd death anniversary of Velukutty Arayan that a biography in his name was released here. Writer Vallikavu Mohandas will also be present at the occasion.
The book fair will be inaugurated by Minister K C Joseph. Institute Director M R Thampan will preside over the function.
Thampan, in a statement, said that the book fair was being organised to take the books published by the State Institute of Languages to the readers.
The book fair will have something for everyone, he said. Be that science, technology, Engineering, computer, literature, languages, cinema, music, art, history, finance, law, journalism or sports.
The Malayalam version of ‘India 2020, A Vision for the New Millenium’ by APJ Abdul Kalam and the eighth edition of ‘100 chemistry stories’ brought out by the Institute would be there in the book fest.
