To mark the beginning of the grand event, well-planned intra-school literary activities, such as poetry composition, precis writing, picture composition and comic strip making, were organised for different classes. Under the guidance of Chairman Justice GC Garg, the event began with the lighting of the ceremonial lamp, followed by the screening of a documentary, highlighting the vision of the great stalwart along with glimpses of last year’s Literary Fest. The keynote speaker, Vivek Atray, former IAS office, author, TEDx speaker and mentor, inspired the students to focus intensively on the art of writing. ‘Abhivyakti- an E-treasure of Creative Expressions’, a compilation of literary works of parents, students and teachers, and another book, titled ‘Mastering Digital Art’, authored by Shilpi Saxena, the school’s talented art teacher, were released by Vice-Chairman AN Mathur.

The enlightening thoughts of renowned literarians like N Chandra (Indian film writer, director and producer), Ira Pande (author, editor and educationist), Vineet Panchhi (poet, filmmaker and voice actor), Surjit Patar (Punjabi language writer and poet) and Zoya Singh (artist and storyteller) created quite a spur among the learners, awakening their latent creativity.
