Imphal, November 07 2014 :
The National Library Week will be celebrated from November 18 to 20, said a release from the Library and Information Science Students' Association of Manipur today.
The week-long celebration will focus on promoting the culture of reading.
The release also strongly criticized the model of home tutoring and encouraged the idea of reading books.
Further, they called for a support from the Chief Minister to check the misappropriation of library funds by individuals for private and government programs.
The association said that a letter had been sent to hold up the funds from Raja Ram Mohan Roy Library Foundation of Kolkata in this regard.
It claimed that unless the government and the people took a sincere oath to improve these institutions, the observance of the week will signify no meaning.
