New Delhi, Jul 28 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing Mann Ki Baat on Sunday, informed that he has decided on launching a book corner on Narendra Modi App with a reading of any book and sharing some of its facets with all through the platform.

"I have seen that people in large numbers have shared a lot of information on a variety of books. It is heartwarming to see them discuss books published on subjects such as Science, Technology, innovation, history, culture, business, life-sketches and so on. Some have advised me to dwell upon many other books. Fine. I shall discuss with you on other books as well," Modi said.

The Prime Minister admitted that he is not able to devote much time to reading books these days.

"But I have gained a lot, in the sense that based on your correspondence here, I got opportunities to know about the themes of many kinds of books. But the experience over the last one month makes me feel that we need to take it forward," said the PM.

"Why don’t we create a permanent book corner on the Narendra Modi App, so that, whenever we read a book, we write about it and discuss it on this platform! And you can even suggest an apt name for our book corner," Modi proposed.

"I want this book corner to be an active forum for readers and writers alike. So keep reading and writing; sharing with all friends of Mann Ki Baat alongside," he added.
