Shivani Centre and Hindi Sahitya Sabha are jointly organizing an All India Story Writing Competition, titled ‘Akhil Bhartiya Kahani Lekhan Pratiyogita’, from December 20th, 2024, to January 2025. The goal of this competition is to encourage individuals across the nation to showcase their self-written stories and, in doing so, increase awareness of Hindi literature and culture.
Shivani Centre, Rajbhasha Prakoshth, and Hindi Sahitya Sabha will jointly organize Anantini, a kavisammelan that will feature eminent poets from across the country. The event will showcase various genres of poetry, including poems, Shayari, and Ghazals.
Scholars-in-residence, such as the renowned author, poet, and critic Mr. Ashok Chakradhar, will be invited to engage IIT Kanpur students. Their expertise in linguistics, translation, arts, and technology will be used to conduct workshops and training sessions.
On the occasion of International Mother Language Day, celebrated worldwide on February 21st, Shivani Centre and Rajbhasha Prakoshth will organize a special event to promote awareness of linguistic and cultural diversity. The event aims to celebrate the rich linguistic diversity within our campus community.
