The speaker shared fascinating insights into Austen’s literary legacy, discussing timeless classics such as Pride and Prejudice, Emma, and Sense and Sensibility.



Following a structured timeline, the lecture explored Austen’s keen social observations, enduring themes, and lasting influence on literature. 




Attendees actively participated, asking thoughtful questions and deepening their appreciation of her works.







On the morning of March 3, students received their Reading-For-All booklets, marking the official start of a month-long literary journey. With booklets in hand, they eagerly delved into diverse stories, ready to explore new perspectives and engage with thought-provoking texts.
