Being a student of Quaid-e-Azam University of Islamabad, a few days ago I had to go to Jinnah Super Market situated in the f-7 sector of Islamabad along with my university friends to buy some books to enhance my reading comprehension. What I found there was that the prices of books were so high that a middle class student like me can’t afford it. A general novel or history book of 250-350 pages was not less than 1200 rupees. This made us perplexed to either spend four to five thousand rupees on buying three to four books or save this much amount for handling our own monthly expenses as bachelor.Keeping up this issue we urge our government to yearly pass such a budget for books in order to appreciate trend book reading among the youth which we sadly lack. As we have been hearing this from our sages, “Today’s reader is tomorrow’s leader.”
