The joy of reading could not be replaced by any other, said Union Minister of State for Human Resource Development Shashi Tharoor.
He was speaking after inaugurating the ‘a book for a kid’ programme at the Sree Chitra Poor Home here the other day.
“Books are the happiness and hope of future. Computer or other technological advances cannot give the joy of reading,” he said.
The Minister of State for HRD distributed books and sweets to all children at the home. The programme was organised by the State Institute of Children’s Literature.
