At 7 RCR, PMO, it is packing, cataloguing time

"All books at the prime minister's house are being catalogued. He received hundreds and hundreds of books.. What he wants to take and what he wants to leave behind at the PMO are all being catalogued," the official added, saying Manmohan Singh, who never stopped being an academic, was giving particular attention to the books he was going to take with him to read.

Among the gifts are also six tea sets received as gifts from abroad. They were used to serve tea to guests at the prime minister's residence. The tea sets will remain with the PMO.
