“Samay Yaan is an idea that lets you time travel through India, culturally! Katha Utsav is an attempt to preserve and revive “India’s Heritage Stories”. Supported by Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav, Katha Utsav is a bridge between stories of past and kathakars of today. Under the program potential storytellers will be groomed, given a platform and support to present these heritage stories to the 21st century audience”, said Bharti Dhingra, Organizer, Katha Utsav.

“In the times of short attention spans that we live in, Katha utsav is committed to bringing stories and storytelling in vogue again, We have started with Indian Heritage stories as theme for our first event”, said Sumit Maluja, Organizer, Katha Utsav.

At Katha Utsav we plan to conduct many events, activities and workshops going forward. We welcome all writers, story tellers, enthusiasts, artists to come and join this platform and enrich it with their experience.

“Our past is best explored and understood in the stories of India’s legendary writers. Their stories hold our collective experience as a nation. By reviving and reliving their work, we connect with our roots better”, said Malvika Joshi.

Katha Utsav is an excellent initiative and has the potential to liven up the literature scene. I am happy to be part of it.

Lauding the initiative by Katha Utsav, Anil Pandey, Director, India For Children said, “India is a land that brims with stories and tales that are classic and timeless. However, how many young people today are aware about Prem Chand or Fanishwar Das Renu, whose stories hold the same essence in every century and age? The youth today is served readymade digital text which is unfortunately often very superficial and crass. To ensure that they are not further alienated from our rich heritage, it is important that we reintroduce them to these dusted pages of heritage. The Katha Utsav is a great initiative that will ensure that our literature doesn’t get forgotten in this fast-paced hollow world.”

Samay Yaan’s Katha Utsav owes its success not only to the remarkable participants but also to the generous support of the Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav, Ministry of Culture. Their commitment to preserving and promoting India’s rich cultural heritage made this event possible, further strengthening the fabric of our diverse society.
