New Delhi – Kalam is one-of-its-kind literary initiative of Prabha Khaitan Foundation to support and encourage vernacular literature. It is one of the prized verticals of the Foundation which is dedicated to enrich and widen the scope of Hindi literature in India and abroad.

Prabha Khaitan Foundation is launching the Kalam website in May in Delhi. It is our pleasure to announce that Shri Om Birla, Hon’ble Speaker Lok Sabha will be formally launching the website.

Ms. Anindita Chatterjee, Executive Trustee of the Foundation, Ms. Shraddha Murdia, Ehsaas woman of Udaipur and Ms. Shinjini Kulkarni, Ehsaas woman of Noida met the current Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla at his residence requesting him to do the honour of launching the website formally.

The aim of Kalam is to popularize Hindi literature and provide a platform for veteran and young authors and poets to talk about their writings and love for vernacular literature.  Kalam started its journey back in the summer of 2015 in the cities of Jaipur and Patna and we have conducted over 550 sessions spun over 40 cities in India and overseas since then. As a fond gathering of authors with audiences who enjoy Hindi literary creations, the sessions of Kalam are insightful, inspiring, enriching, and enjoyable.
