Delhi Book Fair 2020 — Pragatie
The Delhi Book Fair to be held at Pragati Maidan every year will not be held directly this time. But considering the trend of exhibitors and readers, the organizers have decided to virtualize it. This time, however, the Federation of Indian Publishers Delhi Book Fair is going to organize not only alone but in conjunction with platform host Pragati.
On 30–31 that the virtual Delhi Book Fair will be organized on October 30–31. Which will be the biggest and global literary event of the year 2020. Here, along with publishers, orthus, distributors and riders will gather on the same platform. The organizers believe that this time there will be more than 2 lakh visitors, more than 100 exhibitors, more than 5000 titles and more than 20 webinars. Because its scope is virtual, it will move out of Delhi to other states and countries, which will prove to be a big goal for the organizers. To connect more and more people to the fair, this time the organizers have reduced the starting price of publisher stall from 8 thousand to 5 thousand.
GST will have to be given along with fees
while the rate of Authorities stall has been reduced from 5 thousand to 3 thousand whereas Indian Regional Language Authorities Two and a half thousand has been kept for. While the percentage of the webinar has been fixed at one and a half thousand rupees. GST will also have to be paid along with the fees.
