The Federation of Indian Publishers in association with India Trade Promotion Organisation will be organising this edition of the book fair at Pragati Maidan here.

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.
