As a responsible corporate citizen, it has been Tata Steel’s endeavour to promote art and literature in the country. One of the measures has been to hold Literary Meets in Bengal (Kolkata) and Odisha (Bhubaneswar). These efforts have been truly rewarding and we have had tremendous response from the citizens from all walks of life.

Last year, we brought the Literary Meet to Jharkhand (Ranchi) which enabled us to showcase the literary talent of the State as well as provide a platform where distinguished scholars put forth their narrations, thereby leading to a healthy exchange of ideas. Our aim is to make the Jharkhand Literary Meet an event which would grow in stature to become an important item in the national social calendar.

The main purpose of the event is as follows:

• Support in promotion of literature among the literary minds of the society.
• Be a custodian for supporting and fostering new ideas in the society and in the field of literature, culture and arts.
• Connect with the youth and the intellectual minds of the society through such initiatives.
• Create a platform for the intellectual minds of the society to discuss and deliberate on the issues pertaining to the Indian youth, society, economics and policies.

The second edition of Jharkhand Literary Meet at Ranchi is scheduled from December 8-9, 2018 at Audrey House.

Prior to the main event at Ranchi, there will be a “Curtain Raiser” at Centre for Excellence, Jamshedpur on December 7, 2018.
