Shoolini University’s Department of English has been in the news constantly over the last two years for the numerous activities it has organized on a regular basis. Every week they hold a literary event, book discussion, poetry session, or meet-the-author programme. Their sessions have a phenomenal reach and professionals from across international borders are roped in as distinguished speakers. The recently concluded International Conference is just one of its events that have changed the complexion of academic events in the state.
