Speaking on the occasion, MLA Anand noted that there has been history which is due to writers otherwise there will not be history in the world and pointed out that the rate of reading books especially by younger generation is low as compared to other States.
He said that time has come for the government to award grant to those writers who could not publish their books due to financial difficulty instead of presenting awards to writers for their published books.
Maintaining that there are many talented writers in the State who need support and encouragement, the MLA stressed on the need for taking up measures to facilitate them so that their books are published.
To mark the occasion, MLA Anand released ninth edition journal of LEIKOL.
