CHANDIGARH SAHITYA AKADEMI has, over the last few years, tried to make an impact in the city. Regular Literary Programs – poetry symposia, meet-the-writer sessions, book launches, readings, seminars and invited lectures - have been held. The promotion of literature has been going on regularly. Awards have been instituted for senior as well as upcoming writers of the city. Stretching the scope of its activities across a broad section of society, from senior citizens to young school-going children, the Akademi reached out to diverse groups. Creative Writing Competitions and Quiz Contests are organized, Grants-in-Aid are awarded to unpublished manuscripts and awards are given for printed books. The chief languages of the region – Hindi, English, Punjabi and Urdu – are promoted. There is no doubt that CSA is now an acknowledged presence in Chandigarh. Its activities are posted regularly on Facebook and Blogger, keeping its members informed of its activities. The city has responded very enthusiastically to all the programmes of the CSA.
The Annual Round-Up 2015 will sum up the activities organized by the CSA over the last 12 months. As is the practice, we also include a talk by an invited speaker on the occasion. This year the speaker is Bachi Karkaria, well-known columnist. Ms Barkaria’s talk on Media will be followed by a presentation by the CSA of the its year-long activities. There will also be a distribution of awards to prize winning city writers. Grants –in-Aid to unpublished manuscripts will be awarded and also prizes for the best books in print 2014.
