(D) Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport, Varanasi

Answer: Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport, Varanasi

Explanation:
At Lal Bahadur Shastri International (LBSI) Airport has become the first airport in India to have a reading lounge. The reading lounge will have books on Kashi but will also have a library on literature and books in several foreign languages and a collection of youth authors published under Prime Minister Yuva Yojana. The Varanasi Airport has become the first airport in the country to have a free reading lounge. This lounge was established in partnership with National Book Trust (NBT), an Indian publishing house and an autonomous body and undertaking under the ministry of education of the Union government.

The Airport Reading Lounge reflects Kashi, both for traditionalists and for the modern travellers and passengers, and for those who want to explore more about the mystical heritage of the ancient city. The reading lounge would not only present India’s culture, history, traditional knowledge systems, health and wellness, literature in Hindi, French, Spanish, English and several other Indian languages, but will also represent Varanasi literary icons, their works, iconic places, and unknown facts and links with the city.
