Solan, October 10
The newly launched Centre of Excellence for Language Learning (CELL) by Chitrakoot School of Liberal Arts at Shoolini University held its first lecture on “What it Means to be a Student of English Literature,”. The key speaker of the session was Prof. Tej Nath Dhar from Shoolini University.
The event commenced with a welcome address by Assistant Prof. Hemant Kumar Sharma, who introduced the audience to the focus of the lecture series. This three-part series, led by Prof. Dhar, is scheduled over the coming weeks.
In this first session, Prof. Dhar engaged students by posing fundamental questions such as “What does it mean to be a student of literature?” and “What is English literature?” He explored the intrinsic relationship between literature and language, describing how oral poetry, the earliest form of literature, served both as entertainment and education. Literature, he explained, was a natural outgrowth of cultural life, predating its formal definitions, and evolved across centuries from the Greeks to the modern era.
The event concluded with closing remarks by Dr. Purnima Bali, Head of the Chitrakoot School of Liberal Arts, who expressed gratitude to Prof. Dhar and encouraged the audience to attend the upcoming sessions in the series.
