Word from the sponsors:
K.S. Natarajan, Correspondent, Saraswathi Vidyalaya:
“It was a three day bonanza for kids of Chennai at the only literature festival which has an exclusive section for children. Listening to a variety of speakers, writers and artists who are active contributors in the sphere of children’s literature was truly enriching. Every activity was well thought out; to kindle the children’s imagination and help them on their journey onward. The zero waste initiative is a very valid and much needed effort. Saraswathi Vidyalaya has been truly privileged to be a part of this unique festival.”
