Pune – On August 3, Velvet Kavisha Publications launched its latest story collection Kathanagari at Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Cultural Bhavan on Sunday. The book features works by 35 writers whose dream of being published was realized through the efforts of Varsha Thukarul.
The event was presided over by Dr. Avinash Bhondve, with Dr. Sunita Chaudhary, Advocate Shweta Gandhi, Milind Mohorir, Krishna Keshav Deshmukh, and Dr. Surekha Shinde as chief guests.
