Patna (Bihar): Bihar’s most anticipated cultural and educational celebration — the CRD Patna Book Fair — is back with its 41st edition, to be held from December 5th to 16th, 2025, at the iconic Gandhi Maidan, Patna. Adding to its vibrant spirit, Jaano Junction once again partners with the Patna Book Fair Organising Committee to present the second edition of its flagship segment — Jaano Junction EPIC Show 2025 – Dobara.
Building on last year’s phenomenal response — with participation from over 2000 students representing 50+ leading schools — this year’s EPIC Show promises an even grander celebration of youth, creativity, and ideas.
The broader theme for the 41st Patna Book Fair, “Wellness: A Way of Life”, echoes the ideals of holistic growth and mental, emotional, and physical well-being. The theme also aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), encouraging students to think about wellness not just as health, but as a balanced, creative, and mindful way of living.
“We are thrilled to bring back the EPIC Show Dobara, a platform that not only celebrates creativity and intellect but also nurtures youth leadership and holistic growth,” shared Kshitij Choudhary, CEO, Jaano Junction.
He added, “Patna Book Fair is a legacy that generations have cherished. To have young minds as part of it, learning, competing, and creating together, is the real success story.”
Ratneshwar Pathak, President, CRD, remarked, “The collaboration with Jaano Junction has added youthful dynamism to the Patna Book Fair. Together, we aim to make this edition even more participative and inspiring.”
