On the occasion of World Book Day on Wednesday (April 23, 2025), Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin said books are the keys to the new world.

In a post on the social media platform X, he said books were like “a good friend who introduces us to the life we have not lived, the people we have never met, and the times we have not seen”.

Mr. Stalin said the State government was establishing a Periyar library in Coimbatore and a Kamaraj library in Tiruchi, on the lines of those in Chennai and Madurai. The Dravidian model government was encouraging reading through book fairs and literary fairs, he said.

“Read the world through books, and knowledge will flourish; read the world as a book, and experience will thrive,” Mr. Stalin said.
