Sir,
Refer news item ‘Governor releases ‘Bedaar’ DE Aug 30.
There is no doubt that huge literature is available in all languages of the State. Every year new books find their presence in book stores, and libraries. Whether these are read by people depend on the contents and availability of books. It is also true that there is dearth of children’s literature in the State. No language which is mostly spoken by people in the State like Dogri, Kashmiri or Bodhi have much children literature. This is because the writers have not attached much significance to this genre of literature. Most of the writers have attached importance to political issues, and neglected other issues.It is need of the time that writers focus on quality children’s literature in their respective languages so that children are acquainted with different aspects of life while entertaining them through stories and poem etc.
The Academy of Art, Culture and Languages can play an important role in this endeavour.
Yours etc…..
