The Hindi Department of M. C. Kejriwal Vidyapeeth commemorated the birth anniversary of the legendary Hindi writer, Munshi Premchand, fondly known as Upanyas Samrat, on 30 and 31July 2025. The celebration featured a series of enriching and engaging literary activities aimed at deepening students’ appreciation for Hindi literature.

The highlight of the event was a vibrant role-play competition and skit presentation, where students of Classes 5, 6, and 7 brought to life some of Premchand’s most iconic characters. Through expressive dialogues, authentic costumes, and moving performances, the students captured the spirit of Premchand’s narratives. A short yet powerful skit based on his poignant story Budhi Kaki was staged during the morning assembly, receiving great appreciation.

Equally captivating was the storytelling competition for Classes 3 and 4. The young storytellers enthusiastically narrated beloved Premchand tales such as Idgah, Mantra, and others, displaying both confidence and clarity in expression.

This celebration not only honoured the timeless contributions of Munshi Premchand but also nurtured students’ fluency in Hindi, boosted their confidence in public speaking, and sparked a deeper interest in the treasures of Hindi literature.
