Book fair aims to delight kids

LUCKNOW: If you are finding English a hard nut to crack, but you are eager to know all about India's greatest mathematical genius, Srinivas Ramanujan or about the country's astrophysicist, Meghnath Saha or the heroics of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, then turn to the ninth National Book Fair. Moti Mahal lawns, the venue for the bibliophiles for the next 10 days wears an institutional look, as books in various hues and tastes could be spotted. 
The Reserve Bank of India too is putting up a stall in the book fair for dissemination of information as part of its financial inclusion and financial literacy drive. The stall will focus on imparting knowledge about general banking, RBI's functions, security features of banknotes, banking ombudsman scheme etc. The programme is being conducted as a joint effort of RBI, Lucknow and Kanpur.
