23rd April |The World Book Day Celebration |
A civilization can only grow when all the people in that civilization are well educated and literate, books are playing a major part in this diversification.
From the ancient time when the first book was published by Johannes Gutenberg in 1455 ( The Gutenberg Bible ) books played a precious role in our development.
After the publishing of the first book, these books became the primary source of knowledge and conversation across the globe.
Now we are in the 21st century and lots of technological changes can be seen but the importance of this great invention is still the same. books are still using in Schools, Colleges and all the other places till the time.
What makes books actually reliable is, that they are touchable, easy to carry and having a large source of knowledge.
On 23rd April 1995 ( The World Book Day ) was first celebrated and organized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to promote reading, publishing, and copyright.
Now a question must be striking in your mind ( you have to be intelligent for that... Lol ) that why 23rd April and not other dates chosen by UNESCO and reason behind this is that on 23rd April there is birth and death of several famous authors including William Shakespeare, Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, and Cervantes.
