International Children's Book Day
International Children's Book Day (ICBD) is a yearly event sponsored by the International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY), an international non-profit organisation. Founded in 1967, the day is observed on or around Hans Christian Andersen's birthday, April 2. Activities include writing competitions, announcements of book awards and events with authors of children's literature.
Each year a different National Section of IBBY has the opportunity to be the international sponsor of ICBD. It decides upon a theme and invites a prominent author from the host country to write a message to the children of the world and a well-known illustrator to design a poster. These materials are used in different ways to promote books and reading. Many IBBY Sections promote ICBD through the media and organise activities in schools and public libraries. Often ICBD is linked to celebrations around children's books and other special events that may include encounters with authors and illustrators, writing competitions or announcements of book awards.
The IBBY United States is the sponsor for International Children's Book Day 2021.

Nauchandi Mela Suspended
The annual Nauchandi Mela which is held at Nauchandi Ground in Uttar Pradesh's Meerut every year attracts of a lot of footfall. The fair begins post-Holi celebrations and is held for around a month and the star exhibits are the local arts and religious rituals from the rural land of Uttar Pradesh.
The fest is seen as an opportunity to display arts and crafts of the local variety like Lucknow's Chikan work, Varanasi's carpets, rugs and silk sarees, Moradabad's brassware, Meerut's leather items, Agra's footwear and others.
The carnival finds its origins back to the 1600's and is traditionally held every year on the second Sunday after the Holi festival. The Indian Railways even runs a train named Nauchandi Express from Meerut to Lucknow named after this fair.
The fair was predominantly held as a one-day cattle trading fair but gradually other activities were included and the time period was increased to 30 days.
The Nauchandi Mela was suspended last year due to the coronavirus crisis which had forced the imposition of the nation-wide lockdown in India. As the number of COVID-19 cases again raises its head for a presumed second wave, the fair has once again been suspended.
