It makes sure the year is brimmed with activities like quizzing, poetry writing, story writing, debates of varied formats, group discussions on any topic off our minds, JAMs and many more. Winners of these competitive events get accolade with prizes accordingly with the winning writers getting their entries published in the semester-wise students' magazine Vivan. The club members who perform exceptionally well during the year get a chance to represent the Literary Society of IIT Mandi in various college fests which include Rendezvous of IIT Delhi, Antaragini of IIT Kanpur and Oasis of BITS Pilani. With coming years we plan to supply an even richer and continuous supply of food for thought for the literary minds of our college and keep the Shakespeares and Frosts of the campus alive and prosperous.
