PATHSALA: The 77th biennial session of the Axam Xahitya Xabha of Pathsala broke records by selling books worth Rs 5 crore in its book fair.

Subhash Ray, Secretary of the book fair said, “Books worth Rs 5 crore have been sold in Axam Xahitya Xabha within 5 days. The sales show that the book-reading culture is reviving among the people. The State Government’s call to celebrate 2025 as the ‘Year of Books’ has also encouraged many.”

The book fair in the Sabha, which was introduced in the Xahitya Xabha session at Pathsala in 1987 and later became a part and parcel of the sessions everywhere, attracted many people.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has urged people to buy books at Pathsala Axam Xahitya Xabha session. He made these remarks while visiting Bhattadeva Kshetra, the main venue in Pathsala, to review the preparations for the prestigious literary event.

Giridhar Choudhury, Secretary of the organizing committee, shared the impressive attendance figures, stating, “More than 30 lakh people from Northeast visited the Axam Xahitya Xabha during the last five days. We built several roads for the public, and the Bajali district and police administration supported us in ensuring a smooth experience for everyone.”
