In words of Dr. J L Kaul, Chief Guest, “In today’s digital world, we need to comprehend the value of libraries and preserve them by showing interest towards it. Preserving library collection helps record the past, explain the present, and helps in gearing up for the future. Nothing can be more engaging than a physical book. When talking about traditional books like Ramayana and Mahabharata physical copies create more effect than reading the digital edition.”

He also further explained the importance of a library and the essential role of a librarian in this fast paced world, where information is key. Digitization is necessary but some things are right when done conventionally.
