An online literature festival ‘Pragati Prasad’ is also being organized at this book fair which will provide an opportunity to hear and talk about the issues related to the book publishing community as well as the views of thinkers and writers on various social aspects. Apart from this, a painting competition organized by Pogo TV and Cartoon Network for children and different events organized by many other schools will be the major attraction of this virtual book fair. This time there will be no limitations or restrictions for exhibitors and visitors in the virtual Delhi Book Fair. Keeping this vision in mind, the Federation of Indian Publishers has organized the organizers of several book fairs internationally, such as Singapore Book Fair, Sharjah International Book Fair, Frankfurter Buchmesse (Frankfurt Book Fair) and Nigeria International Book Fair, to be part of the Delhi Book Fair 2020.
