साहित्य हमारी सांस्कृतिक धरोहर का प्रतिबिंब है,जो राष्ट्र और समाज के चिंतन को नई दिशा देता है। इस दिशा में ‘वैली ऑफ वर्ड्स’ फाउंडेशन ट्रस्ट साहित्य की दुनिया के एक बड़े केंद्र के रूप में उभर रहा है। यह बीते नौ वर्षों में संवाद, विचार और रचनात्मक अभिव्यक्ति को समाज तक पहुंचाने का सशक्त माध्यम बना है। हमारी युवा पीढ़ी को साहित्य और कला के प्रति प्रेरित कर रहा है! अपने कार्यालय में ‘वैली ऑफ वर्ड्स’ के निदेशक संजीव चोपड़ा जी व उनकी टीम के साथ ट्रस्ट के DASHAM पोर्टल व Logo को लांच करने का अवसर मिला, जो संस्था के ध्येय को मजबूती देता है। कार्यक्रम की एक झलक… @ChopraSanjeev @GenPjs @SandeepUnnithan @awasthi_bob @vowlitfest @chakranewz

Over the course of the last 9 years, Valley of Words, a one-of-a-kind, not-for-profit and volunteer-driven initiative, has brought together writers, artists, critics, thespians, craftspeople, readers, and listeners in its Literature and Arts Festival, which also encompasses the annual Book Awards. In my office, I was happy to join Sh Sanjeev Chopra Ji, Curator of Valley of Words, and his team for the launch of the DASHAM portal & logo which define the 10th glorious year of the organisation and highlight its solid dedication towards furthering Indian cultural values and practices, in addition to promoting rich and vivid Hindi literature. DASHAM will expand global reach for academia and dialogue, and further strengthen India’s soft power as we move towards becoming the world’s third largest economy under the leadership of PM Sh @narendramodi Ji. @ChopraSanjeev @GenPjs @SandeepUnnithan @awasthi_bob @vowlitfest
