Total 57 books by 59 regional authors were published in just 60 days. These books are in paperback format along with ISBNs.
When the nation is celebrating this year as the “Aazadi ka Amrit Mahotsav”, Nexus Stories Publication and Sankalp Sahitya Group have achieved this success by coming together to establish a remarkable record by bringing Indian literature to the world stage.

The books were released online by Kaushal Joshi of Nexus Stories Publication, Sagar Chaucheta (Sankalp Group - Anjar, Gujarat), and Gopal Khetani (Nexus Group - Surat, Gujarat), who are the authors themselves and also the proponent of this program.

The project includes books on health, poetry, ghazals, short novels, children’s literature, Indian history, values of ancient Indian culture, and of course the ‘Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav’.
