Kanpur: Following the inauguration of the Priority Corridor (IIT to Motijheel), book fair is going on at the Motijheel Metro station. With recent expansion of passenger services, book fairs were introduced for the first time at underground metro stations as well, receiving overwhelming appreciation from commuters.
These fairs enrich the metro journey by promoting a culture of reading.
Currently, with the support of various organisations, book fairs are being held at three major stations—Kanpur Central, Bada Chauraha, and Motijheel. The fairs will continue until the end of June and may be extended further based on public response. NCMC GoSmart cardholders can avail themselves of an exclusive 10% additional discount on their purchases.
Passengers are seen taking time out from their commute to browse and purchase their favourite books. Immersed in the world of their beloved authors, readers often find themselves lost in the literary atmosphere.
Apart from Hindi, English books are also in high demand. Keeping reader preferences in mind, the fairs offer works by renowned authors from both India and abroad.
Special attention is being given to include books that cater to the interests of the youth across all three stations.
