Publication Committee

“Let your life lightly dance on the edges of time like dew on the tip of a leaf, inspiring others to find joy in the simple moments.” — Rabindranath Tagore

At the Publication Committee, we are dedicated to bringing out ‘Shivalli Kutumba Vipravaani’ on a quarterly basis. Our mission is to provide a platform for our Kutumba members to express their thoughts and creativity through words, art, photography, and more. We strive to ensure that our content not only reflects the diverse talents and perspectives within our community but also inspires and uplifts others.

Through our magazine, we hope to spark inspiration, encouraging members to share their own stories and pursue their goals by drawing motivation from the achievements and experiences of others. We cater to all age groups, fostering a sense of belonging and unity that embodies the true spirit of our Kutumba.

Join us in celebrating and nurturing our collective creativity, as we inspire and support each other on our life paths.
