Misra, a senior Haryana IAS officer, invited students to actively participate in the upcoming Chandigarh literature festival, Literati, scheduled to be held from November 24-26. This would be a good opportunity to interact with renowned authors and poets, she said.

The three-hour workshop at the college was conducted in two sessions. Devayani Singh and Shubhangi Singh were the resource persons for the event. The sessions were interactive and helped students understand the nuances and narrative structure of creative writing. It allowed students a chance to review their processes of creation and ponder over the need to enhance these processes.
