Our Mission & Vision

Mission

Our mission is to inspire and engage individuals through the power of words.

We aspire to become one of the most engaging pan-BS literary societies and set a benchmark for what an ideal literary society should be. Our goal is to inspire our members and instill a genuine love for literature through a wide range of meaningful activities.

Currently, we conduct regular Reading Sessions, where members read and discuss two chapters of a book every alternate day. We also share literary news and student write-ups through our newsletter Inside Scoop, and are actively working on launching a student-led magazine.

To foster literary expression, we organize both competitive and non-competitive events with a friendly, engaging spirit. We also host recreational events to provide a refreshing break for everyone involved.

Looking ahead, our upcoming initiatives include:

  • The Book-Nook Show: Our very own podcast featuring literary talks and discussions.
  • Think Tank Sessions: Group discussions on thought-provoking topics.
  • Sahityika Masterclass: Fun and insightful sessions for literary learning and exploration.

Through all these efforts, we strive to build a vibrant, inclusive, and literature-loving community within the IITM BS program and beyond.

Sahityika, the Literary Society of IITM BS, envisions providing a dynamic platform for nurturing literary interests and skills. We strive to encourage a diverse community of wordsmiths to exchange ideas and foster creativity in a welcoming environment.

Our goal is to build a joyful and vibrant community of language artisans who are empathetic, thoughtful, and capable of critically engaging with literary works. By promoting budding writers and showcasing their talents to the world, we aim to enhance their listening, speaking, and writing abilities.

Through the exploration of profound insights across various literary genres and writing practices, SAHITYIKA aspires to create a connected and supportive space that nurtures a lifelong love for literature.

In the future, we envision Sahityika becoming a hub for literary mentorship, where experienced members guide and uplift newer ones in their literary journey. We aim to host more cross-disciplinary events, bridging literature with history, philosophy, and the arts, fostering holistic intellectual development.

We also seek to amplify underrepresented voices, support inclusive storytelling, and foster dialogue around diverse cultural and literary traditions. By embracing both tradition and innovation, Sahityika will continue evolving as a beacon of literary expression in the IITM BS ecosystem.
