Kainaat Arif, a student of Class XII, had a unique opportunity to meet and interact with President Droupadi Murmu during the inaugural edition of Sahitya, Kala Evam Rachna Shivir, organised by National Book Trust at Rashtrapati Bhavan. She, along with 55 other young writers from the PM YUVA Mentorship Scheme, engaged in a fruitful discussion with the president wherein Kainaat shared insights into her debut novel, ‘December 1912- A Story of Awakening,’ based on an overlooked event in the Indian freedom movement-an unsuccessful assassination attempt of the Viceroy of India. The discussion also encompassed the incorporation of Indian languages and the experiences of writers.
