UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

NEP 2020 views reading as essential for foundational and lifelong learning. A National Book Promotion Policy would support authors, publishers and libraries to produce and distribute good books. It aims to ensure students have access to diverse, age-appropriate literature across languages. This policy underpins reading campaigns and library strengthening.

Option A:
Restricting publication to a few companies would reduce diversity and is contrary to the promotion goal.

Option B:
This option captures the twin focus on quality and availability of books and the creation of a strong reading culture.

Option C:
Banning children’s literature in local languages would undermine mother tongue education and is not proposed.

Option D:
Replacing libraries with television does not align with NEP’s emphasis on books and reading spaces.
