Celebration of Prem Chand Ji's Birth Anniversary

To celebrate the birth anniversary of Munshi Premchand, one of India’s greatest literary figures, our school library organized a special reading and reflection session.

 On this occasion, students read excerpts from his stories and wrote short reflections on how literature can be a tool for social change.
