Kolkata book fair aims to turn greener with usage of jute bags on larger scale

The 47th International Kolkata Book Fair, among the largest in terms of number of visitors, is looking to become more environment friendly. “In order to encourage book lovers to use jute bags to carry the books they buy, we have allotted many stalls, sponsored by the National Jute Board to sell different sizes of jute bags, at different places inside the fairground,” Publishers & Booksellers Guild Honorary General Secretary Sudhangshu Sekhar Dey said.
