Belagavi Book Club partners with KLE Society’s Lingaraj College to promote reading culture and literary engagement among students.
In order to foster a culture of reading and literary engagement among students, the Belagavi Book Club signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with KLE Society’s Lingaraj College in Belagavi on Thursday.
The three-year pact is a collaborative effort to involve students in various book club initiatives aimed at building a vibrant community centred around literature and the arts.
The collaboration aims to engage students in a series of reading-focused programmes and events organized by the Belagavi Book Club, providing opportunities for students to develop a lifelong love for literature, enhance their communication skills and contribute to the local literary community.
This partnership will not only benefit students of Lingaraj College but also strengthen the literary fabric of Belagavi as a whole, said a release.
Principal H.S. Melinamani, Shashikant Konnur and Sujai Kumar from the college, book club curator Abhishek Bendigeri, co-curator Sumeet Arya, community heads Gloria Alvaris, Charusheela Salunkhe, Neeharika Mishra and Shravani were present.
The book club, an initiative by Rostrum Diaries, was launched in 2022, with the vision of nurturing artistic and literary pursuits within the city.
The club’s inauguration was graced by author and philanthropist Sudha Murty, marking the beginning of a movement dedicated to creating a space for literary enthusiasts to come together.
Organised by the French Government and Campus France, this tour will bring together over 50 prestigious French universities and higher education institutions, providing platform for Indian students and their families to connect directly with academic representatives. The “Choose France Tour 2024” will visit five major cities from 19 to October 27, 2024.
