I have never attended any formal classes for Punjabi, so all and any books can be recommended (gurmukhi only). I like bits of poetry by both very old and new poets that I come across on social media.
The first of Amrita Pritam's books to be filmed was Dharti Sagar te Sippiyan, as Kadambari (1965), followed by Unah Di Kahani, as Daaku (Dacoit, 1976), directed by Basu Bhattacharya.[15] Her novel Pinjar (The Skeleton, 1950) narrates the story of partition riots along with the crisis of women who suffered during the times. It was made into an award-winning Hindi movie by Chandra Prakash Dwivedi, because of its humanism: "Amritaji has portrayed the suffering of people of both the countries." Pinjar was shot in a border region of Rajasthan and Punjab.[citation needed]
She edited Nagmani, a monthly literary magazine in Punjabi for several years, which she ran together with Imroz, for 33 years; though after Partition she wrote prolifically in Hindi as well.[1][16] Later in life, she turned to Osho and wrote introductions for several books of Osho, including Ek Onkar Satnam,[17] and also started writing on spiritual themes and dreams, producing works like Kaal Chetna ("Time Consciousness") and Agyat Ka Nimantran ("Call of the Unknown").[18] She had also published autobiographies, titled, Kala Gulab ("Black Rose", 1968), Rasidi Ticket ("The Revenue Stamp", 1976), and Aksharon kay Saayee ("Shadows of Words").[8][19]

The UFV Library has a vast collection of print and electronic books and videos for students to use for their studies. Remember: when accessing resources off-campus, users will be prompted to enter their UFV credentials to gain access.
The Library uses a call number system to organize all the books on the shelves. Books are arranged within categories that are sorted alphabetically and numerically. When looking for the 'call numbers' on the spines of the books - read them from top to bottom, and left to right.
Punjabi fiction and poetry will be under the PK 2659 section. Children level reading materials can be found under PZ 90 P3. At the Abbotsford Campus Library, these books will be up on the second floor towards the back near the windows (the second row of shelves); see the red start on the map below. Dictionaries will be on the first floor to the left of the lounge seating area in the middle of the Library; see the red start on the map below.
Following disclosures pointing towards discrepancies in purchase of books and science kits for government run schools under the 'Sarv Siksha Abhiyanan' and 'Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan' Punjab's education minister, Sikander Singh Maluka and some officers of the State education department have not only come under fire from the opposition party, but have earned the displeasure of the Chief Minister, Parkash Singh Badal.
The matter relates to purchase of books worth at least Rs 9.00 crore and science laboratory kits worth Rs 7.5 crore, during the previous financial year. Allegations relate to flouting of norms, violation of rules, placing orders through ineligible or favoured companies and individuals as well as procuring books that were not related to school education. One such book not only carries glorification of the naxalite movement and justification of the events leading to the violent secessionist during the 1980s but criticises the role played by Mr Badal and the 27 times president of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, the late G.S. Tohra. One book, which was supposed to be helping middle level school children with Punjabi poetry, has some poems or phrases that were improper for tender minds.
Initially against the circular by the Director General for School Education, who suggested that the books be purchased from the catalogue with the State's languages department, the minister formed a committee headed by the Director of Public Instructions (elementary), which issued tenders through less circulated newspapers regarding purchase of books. However, the number of books, their names and the funds to be utilised was kept ambiguous.
Following a procedure, which raises quite a few questions, the committee allotted the contract to a private company "Friends' Enterprises", which was actually engaged in making RCC pipes in Sardulgarh town of Mansa district. The company used a "nomination letter" from the DPI-E to collect Rs 3,000 from primary and Rs 10,000 from each upper primary school. They were paid from the Sar Siksha Abhiyan funds. While supplying the books which should have carried the promised 15 percent discount tag, some were actually priced well above the market price. The book on Robinson Crusoe, which was available in the market for Rs 150, was provided at Rs 270. Similarly schools also paid Rs 270 for those books which were available in the market at prices between Rs 150 to Rs 200.
A statement quoting a spokesperson of the Chief Minister's Office said that Mr. Badal has sought the probe into all alleged aspects particularly those related to the purchase of library books for primary and upper primary schools, science kits and supply of map masters.
Along with that, we were able to digitize some important works from mid modern period and contemporary period (mentioned below) that will be of good use to readers and researchers at large. Several workshops for proofreading and validation training were organized. In one of the workshop, we were able to partner with the Punjabi University, Punjabi Literature Department to organize a Wikisource workshop for Punjabi Research scholars. We have been able to raise awareness about Wikisource project among the Punjabi community. Wikisource unlike normal PDF books, renders text which can be picked straight from the search engine on the internet. This makes it easy for people to search for particular topics, quotes, and phrases directly from the internet for any purpose, including, academic reseach and cration of encyclopedia articles.
First one was offline survey in Punjabi Wikisource workshop in which we had survey from literature masters students and research scholars to retirees about what they would like to read on Punjabi Wikisource based on their interest or curriculum. The research showed that they wanted to read Old Literature novels, lexicography books, encyclopedia, religious books they were doing research on, classical poetry, and philosophical books.
Readership: Last year, with our focused content generation, Punjabi Wikisource for the first time in the last four years since its creation, saw the readership growth of 113.28% with over 1.4 million page views from 16 thousand unique devices coming to this digital library in last 12 months from Feb 2019 - Feb 2020. We did a survey during one of the workshops to understand what are the needs and interests of people from different age groups and interests. The feedback we got ranged from holy books, Punjabi literature novels, old Punjabi poetry, encyclopedias and philosophical books. Using that survey, we gave priority to the books to be digitized. One of the tools developed by our team developer Jay Prakash independently outside this project on Toolforge is Bookreader that allows readers to read a book like a kindle online. Under our request he integrated that tool in Punjabi Wikisource which allows any user to find and read the book easily on Wikisource, which is similar to how books can be read on Internet Archive.
Digitization Techniques: This project was a learning curve for our team in which we were able to learn about the local challenges of working with old cultural institutions which are in very poor condition. Their environment is unfit for average person and requires a lot of health precautions while working with safety measures. We provided special lab equipment to our staff so we could keep the infection and allergic reactions to minimum. The works also are in damaged condition and they had to be tended properly while digitization process. Our concern was to ensure that we don't do any damage to very delicate works during the digitization of ancient scripts and works. This certainly slowed down the progress but we ensured that our efforts were sustainable for the institution and the Wikimedia projects in the long run. For this work, we also had support from the institution's GLAM Staff. The post scanning work was also a major work and many times, the underlying OCR was visible during the uploading process due to which we had to redo the processing and upload books multiple times.
DIY Scanner: Commercial book scanners costs over ten to twenty thousand dollars. The DIY book scanner is an affordable version of the same line of high quality scanners which works very well in same efficiency. We ordered a complete archivist quill set from diybookscanner.org that pages are as close to flat as possible, the lighting is even and color-balanced, and the geometry of the scan does not shift as you scan a book. The controller for the Archivist Quill is a Raspberry Pi. The Pi Scan software lets the Pi act as a standalone kiosk for book scanning. You configure the cameras, capture scans, and inspect them via a touch interface. Your scans are saved to your USB thumb drive or SD card as you make them. The cameras run a piece of software called CHDK which allows them to be remotely operated over a USB connection. This is how they are controlled by Pi Scan which configures them, triggers them, and downloads the resulting photographs.
