BHOPAL : A literary festival ‘Athena’, was organised here on Saturday at Nutan College. Two popular plays ‘Macbeth’ and ‘Abhigyan Shakuntalam’ of William Shakespeare and Kalidas respectively were staged under the fest. It was presented by girl students of different colleges of city including Nutan, Excellence, Satya Sai and MLB beautifully.  It is noted here that the plays were part of their syllabus.

A literature quiz was also held to judge the knowledge of students in English. The name of litterateurs and their work were asked under the quiz in which Excellence College and Satya Sai College were declared winner and second position. Besides, the students of Nutan College also recited their self composed poems. On the occasion, Dr. Asma Rizwan who  has been associated with the education field for the past many years and known as English literature expert delivers lecture on ‘women empowerment’.

“English is very interesting language. We should learn English because it is being given priority on global level,” said Samiya, a student.

 Another student Shweta said, “Good literature is available in English only and the number of readers literature is higher. But the people of small cities are still away from the literature due to not getting such atmosphere there or they had to read its translated work. The soul of any work is destroyed after in translation. And I think, to promote English literature, such type of programme should be organised,”.
