INBOFA 2012, @MG UNIVERSITY CAMPUS

2012-01-10T08:15:00.000-08:00

International Book Fair, INBOFA2012,INBOFA2012 being organised at the Sports Pavilion of the University from 13th to 23rd January 2012. is conceived to be an Academic Carnival for the promotion of serious readership through intellectual interactions at the instance of a Book Exhibition, rather than a mere trade-show of books. The focus of INBOFA2012 clearly extends beyond books and book-trade. An unusual Carnival, INBOFA2012 seeks to try and bring academic readership to the ridge of the ocean of knowledge, to have a feel of currents and eddies therein, and experience the publication industry's fascinating ways of distributive navigation. It attracts sellers and buyers, publishers and distributors, readers and readings, authors and editors, besides the general public, to one location of festive occasion.

A variety of programmes such as theme based discussions, seminars, workshops, authors' meet, book launching and book reading sessions along with cultural and literary events offers additional incentives for the knowledge-seekers as well as the interested public to make it their destination.
