“Nothing is pleasanter than exploring a library”

- Walter Savage Landor

(1775-1864, English writer & poet)

Libraries can function as real resource centres where innovative learning can grow. They provide a joyful ambience where one can spend precious time browsing through books to enhance his knowledge.

Since year 2017-2018, the government school libraries of Directorate of Education, GNCTD have witnessed a major transformation as the funds allocated saw a meteoric rise in the procurement of books by these libraries and a heightened interest in students and teaching faculty in library activities organised time to time at school level. The transparency and efficiency have increased manifold in procurement of books by the schools.

Year 2020-2021 was marred by the pandemic which deterred the Directorate of Education, GNCTD from following the routine annual calendar and an inflection point was engendered by this pandemic accentuating the need for libraries as a source of information and knowledge more than ever in the absence of regular schooling.

Learning from the past and resilient as ever, this year is the year of innovation where the Mega Book Fair-V (2021-2022) is being conducted online in virtual mode. The exhibition by publishers, procurement by schools and administration of the whole event and processes mentioned above by the Directorate of Education, GNCTD is in virtual mode.
