Vice President of India M. Venkaiah Naidu on Tuesday urged people to develop a reading habit, saying that it helps build character.
Mr. Venkaiah Naidu, who took time off his hectic schedule to visit the Annamaiah Library on the premises of the Venkateswara Swamy Temple , said that he was delighted to see such a vast collection of books on a wide range of subjects, preserved with much care.
He said that the library was in its present shape due to the efforts of Lanka Suryanarayana, an 86-year-old man who has dedicated his life to the development of the library.
