Reading application ‘Digital DPD’ was also launched, which is synced with the Digital Rights Management System to keep a check on piracy.
Javadekar also stressed on linking apps and websites under the Central government to help viewers find out comprehensive access from books to the news.
He said that the mobile application launched will help in improving the reading habits of the people in the era of e-books.
All books available on the website are for sale via the Bharatkosh payment gateway. Also, online purchase will offer affordable prices to the customers to boost up digital reading.
Most importantly, the e-version of Rojgar Samachar (a corresponding version of Employment News in Hindi) providing information on job opportunities in the Central government will be available at 75% of the print version cost.
