The second edition of the Namo Book Festival will be held at the Rudraksh Convention Centre in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, on October 7-8, according to actor Abhinav Chaturvedi.
The programme will bring together book displays, documentary screenings, an awards presentation and a special performance. The event is also expected to focus on conversations with young people and their aspirations.
What visitors can expect
Books about PM Modi will be displayed across subjects including foreign policy, culture, art, sports, entertainment, cinema and television. The collection will be presented as an exhibition, with visitors able to buy books at affordable prices.
The festival will also feature members of the Hanuman Ansh team. Producer Anupriya Nagar and Sunil Lodhi are scheduled to give a special performance during the Varanasi event.
A documentary programme is part of the schedule as well. Selected documentaries will be screened, followed by recognition for their creators from a panel of experts. The available details do not identify the documentaries or list the award recipients.
Focus on youth and future plans
Chaturvedi described the event as a dialogue with the generation referred to as “Gen V”. In his remarks, he linked the phrase with victory, valour and young people looking towards a developed India.
The festival will address questions held by young attendees, while also creating space to discuss how the initiative can be taken forward. Chaturvedi said people involved in the programme had once been part of Gen Z and would also learn from the experience.
That emphasis gives the book festival a wider purpose beyond its exhibition programme. Alongside books and performances, the event is positioned as a forum where young visitors can engage with ideas about India's future.
Conclusion
The Namo Book Festival's second edition will take place in Varanasi on October 7-8, combining books about PM Modi with films, awards, live performance and youth-focused discussion.
