The Federation of Indian Publishers in association with India Trade Promotion Organisation will be organising this edition of the book fair at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi.
The fair will be held in the national capital till September 6.
This year's fair largely focuses on inculcating the idea of skill-based professions and career interests of the youth, a statement from the organisers said.
In view of this year's theme, books that are solely focused on skill development - hard and soft skills - would be available at the fair for all age groups.
Debates, discussions, workshops and seminars are also to be organised to shed light on the importance of skill development among the youth.
