In a joint initiative of bKash and readers at the book fair in 2020 and 2021, a total of 22,650 books were collected for distribution among the readers, including underprivileged children. bKash distributed these books to the libraries through humanitarian organization Obhizatrik Foundation. bKash will carry out the book collection program in a larger scale this year.
Readers and visitors can participate in the book-giving program by visiting five booths set up by bKash at the fair premises. They can donate new or old books to the booths as per their choice. Those who live outside of Dhaka can also participate by dropping off the books at local customer care centers of bKash. This year, people can also donate books at the booths installed at super shops like Meena Bazar, Agora.
