The government's art, culture and languages department, headed by Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, has proposed to constitute 'Sahitya Charcha Clubs' across the city for promotion of literature.
An official in the deputy CM's office said, "at these clubs, people could gather and discuss the text and prose produced by Hindi litterateurs".
Aimed at bringing the enlightening literary discussions from academic institutions and select gatherings, into the public domain, the government also wishes to promote literary seminars, symposiums with enhanced local participation across the city, he said.
The push to promote literature among the masses will begin with Hindi and later, literature from other regional languages will be similarly promoted.
"Literature is believed to give a right direction to the society by developing the feeling of harmony and unity. It is believed that promotion of literature among the common people will also further a positive outlook," added the official.
