First Poetry Class Held at MCU on Basant Panchami

CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: On the occasion of Basant Panchami, Makhanlal Chaturvedi National University of Journalism and Communication (MCU) will host a poetry class titled “Kavya ka Panchamrit”, featuring five of India’s renowned poets. The young generation of accomplished poet Ramayanadhar Dwivedi will be joined by Dr. Suresh from Lucknow, Masoom Ghaziabadi from Ghaziabad, Rajesh Sharma from Gwalior, and Suraj Rai Suraj from Jabalpur. On the occasion of the birth anniversary of the great poet Suryakant Tripathi ‘Nirala’, Vinay Upadhyay Nirala will present the musical essence of his words.

Dr. Pavitra Srivastava, MCU’s Media Officer, stated that since this day also marks the birth anniversary of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, patriotism will be the central theme of the class. For the first time on the MCU campus, popular poets from various platforms are coming together. They will demonstrate how a poet or shayar can convey in just two lines—using carefully chosen ten to twelve words—what thousands of words in essays, editorials, or even a two-hour prime-time show cannot.

This poetry class, aimed at teaching the art of words, will serve as the first offering of the new semester, welcoming students from across the country to MCU.
