The Amar Ekushey Book Fair is starting from February 1. The main theme of the fair is the July Mass Uprising: Building a New Bangladesh. The book fair will be officially inaugurated at 3 pm on that day by the Chief Advisor to the Interim Government, Dr. Muhammad Yunus.
On Thursday (January 30), the Academy’s Director General, Professor Mohammad Azam, made these remarks at a press conference organized at the Bangla Academy on the occasion of the Amar Ekushey Book Fair 2025.
He said that the book fair will be inaugurated at 3 pm on Saturday, February 1 by the Chief Advisor to the Interim Government, Dr. Muhammad Yunus. Books and book fairs are helpful in building a knowledge-based, humane and inclusive democratic Bangladesh. We hope that this year’s fair – the Book Fair of Our Lives – will illuminate all possibilities.
