Q&A
What is the age group of books we need to submit, and do we have any restriction of books type?
- At the First slot we must submit the book for kids up to 12 years it can be in any Indian language
- No Restriction book type but it should be easy to read for kids, so we can submit cartoons and history and some education books which will help kids.
- During the submission period in later slots, we can submit for all age groups.
Is there any last date to submit the books?
- We have received the timeline of April to June 2022 to submit the maximum number of books in slots
At the first slot we need to submit 100 books minimum - To submit everyone contribution to ICIN please submit before March 10th as we need to wrap/sticker the books, so we need time to complete the task before we submit it to a library, but still, you can submit the book for future slots and max end date will be Mid of May 2022
