Punjabi University has started revamp of its publication bureau. Taking new measures, the university has decided to open a new book house at its regional centre in Bathinda while it will also republish various books that are out of stock, but remain in high demand.

The University Vice-Chancellor, Prof Arvind, during a visit to ‘Kitab Ghar’ said, “There is a need to spread a word about university’s books at ‘Kitab Ghar’.”

The university has now decided to open ‘Kitab Ghar’ every Saturday apart from other days. Also, another ‘Kitab Ghar’ will come up at the Regional Centre in Bathinda. Officials said this would help people access books published by the university. “Book van of ‘Kitab Ghar’ will also be operational from the coming week. The van will tour various places for display and sale of books,” they added.

Professor in-charge of the publication bureau, Dr Rajesh Sharma, said, “Stock of many important books published by the university has finished, but their demand is still high. Such books will be reprinted.”
