Vishwarang Book Yatra – A Movement to Bring Book Culture to the Masses
Continuing its tradition, Vishwarang will launch the Vishwarang Book Yatra starting October 2, in collaboration with universities and AISECT centers across four major Hindi-speaking states: Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, and Jharkhand.
The yatra will travel through 125 districts, 250 development blocks, and 700 village panchayats, featuring:
• Book exhibitions
• Special displays on freedom fighters and women revolutionaries
• Science-themed exhibitions
• Creative competitions such as poetry and story writing, debates, and short film production
The mission is to foster a love for books and extend book culture to all sections of society — including children, youth, the elderly, persons with disabilities, and the third gender community. Past book yatras have reached prisons, old-age homes, and remote regions, igniting cultural awareness and leaving a lasting impact.
