These books are steps for bridging minds and creating a common heritage for this vast continent and are the very best of Asia today. During the year, 10 titles were reprinted under the series.

“Our civilization has gifted the world, the most ancient books – the Vedas,” said Shri B K Sharma, former chairman, NBT. He was delivering the eighth NBT Foundation Day Lecture on ‘Books and Reading in Today’s India’ organised at the Trust’s premises in Vasant Kunj, New Delhi on 1 August 2019. “The four Vedas – Rigveda, Yajurveda, Atharveda and Samveda – are treasure house of knowledge,” said Shri B K Sharma. However, he lamented the fact that some people consider Vedas as primitive. He was of the view that with destruction of great centres of learning like Taxila and Nalanda, our literature too was destroyed. “Rigveda has maximum number of mantras (verses),” said Shri B K Sharma while discussing in detail the structure of Vedas. He further said that out of 21 books only four books of Rigveda are now available. He also talked in detail about the origin of Vedas and tradition of learning during ancient times in India. He brought into light the philosophical and scientific aspects of Vedas. Shri B K Sharma said that, “Though ancient, the Vedas inform us about the distance between Earth and Moon as well as different ways of calculating time.” Shri B K Sharma concluded by saying that our objective should focus on publishing books that are remembered forever. The publishing industry should not only focus on providing jobs to the youngsters but also publish books that give vivid knowledge to them. “For any organisation, the day of its foundation is very important,” said Prof. Govind Prasad Sharma, Chairman, NBT. He said that because of continuous hard work and sincere efforts of the employees of the Trust since its establishment, NBT has achieved a lot. It has got recognition in India as Annual Report 2019-20
