Sanjeev Jaiswal ‘Sanjay’ said – Writing children’s literature is a very responsible task. While moving in this direction, sometimes the editors also get disapproval of the writings, one should not panic from this situation, rather one should improve his writing.
Dr. Bhagwati Prasad Dwivedi said – New names are being added to the glorious tradition of children’s literature. Under the guise of intellectualism, children are being connected only with education. They have to be linked to children’s literature books. No creator writes for award, he creates literature with inner inspiration.
Children’s literature has been relatively less discussed, but it is very important. Children’s literature is being written in various genres. It is very difficult to compose for children. It has been our tradition to educate children through inspirational children’s literature. The order of grandmother-grandmother’s stories is a bit broken, due to which the important work of imparting values to the children has been hampered. If excellent children’s literature reaches the adolescent mind, then their mind can be ecstatic.
Children’s literature is an incomparable wealth of language. Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Amita Dubey, Uttar Pradesh Hindi Sansthan said – We are proud to welcome and felicitate children’s writers of various genres at the Abhinandan Parv award distribution ceremony organized by Uttar Pradesh Hindi Sansthan under the Bal Sahitya Samvardhan Yojana. The editors of children’s magazines have more responsibility than the authors in the creation of children’s literature. Through the Balvani bi-monthly magazine published by the Sansthan, we go among the child readers and get everyone’s affection and cooperation.
We also express respect towards media personnel and journalist brothers. Thanks also to Mr. Sarvjit Singh Marwa for presenting Vani Vandana.
