new ideas and challenging the students to give

some thought about the challenges faced by

society and meaningful ways to address them.

I have also been informed that the Literary Club

has crossed three decades of spirited debate and
inclusive discussion. The success of a democracy

depends on active participation by the populace

and institutes are the first bastion of democracy.

Civility and dignity in public discourse are traits
that need practice and I am glad that we have

a club that encourages the students to hone their

skills in this direction, by introducing them to

of varsity level competitions on various topics is

also an encouraging sign of the thriving level of

discourse among the students.

My wishes to the team behind ‘EXPRESSIONS’ and

the conduct of events of the Literary Club, as they
march on to the golden jubilee of service to this

institution.
