From The Founder

It is exhilarating to know that the SOA Centre for Preservation, Propagation and Restoration of Ancient Culture and Heritage of India (PPRACHIN) is organizing the second SOA Literary Festival from November 24 to 26, 2023.

The first Literary Festival organized by PPRACHIN on February 1 and 2, 2020 had attracted a multitude of literary figures from across the country providing a platform for scholarly interaction and exchange of ideas and thoughts. Though the program could not be organized subsequently because of the pandemic, it is a matter of happiness that the second edition of the festival is on the anvil.

Literature holds a mirror to our lives and makes us think as a society. History is replete with examples where changes have occurred in the society through the written word.

I wish the festival all success.
