Keeping in view the health and safety of all concerned during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the 2021 edition of the Tata Steel Kolkata Literary Meet, that is held every year in Kolkata in association with Victoria Memorial Hall, has been put off for now.
As a gesture to mark the year and the iconic festival, a set of five webinars across the three evenings of January 29-31, 2021 will be organised.
On the development, Chanakya Chaudhary, vice president, corporate services, Tata Steel, said: “We are indeed disappointed to not be able to host the Tata Steel Kolkata Literary Meet this year owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a responsible corporate, the health and safety of our patrons is our greatest
concern. We hope to be back with the next edition of the premier literary meet with increased participation of all our stakeholders.”
