The Literary Circle conducts various events throught the year:

Verve, Literary cm Youth Festival of the college and the biggest of its kind in Eastern India. The Literary Circle, successfully pulled off the 16th edition of Verve in 2021. Flagship events in the fest, like the Treasure Hunt, have become the matter of college folklore. The

club maintains a blog, The Darkest White, as the culmination of myriad pen strokes from the collective literary expression of the college. The NITMUN is a forum convened by the members of the Literary Circle for discussion and analysis of global issues. It seeks to bring out motivated delegates from all over the country for a meaningful debate on significant international issues. The club publishes the yearbook, so each student graduating out of college can reminisce about their days in the college, their hostel life and take with them a part of it. Humans of NIT Durgapur, by The Literary Circle, captures the untold stories, legends, and experiences of individuals, showing our readers how ordinary people can be unique, inspirational and relatable. The club looks forward to the new academic year as an opportunity to expand its horizons and to showcase the immense creative talent that is present in our college. We hope to make the next edition of Verve bigger than ever, drawing in the best talent from all over India. We would also continue to bring out the yearbook, so that every final year who graduates out of college, can take away some part of college life in a tangible form.

In the glorious return of this day, the memory of Lord Ram finds its place once again. His life did not remain limited to a single telling; it grew with time, becoming something people keep returning to in their own ways.

It continues to find space in how people think about actions and their consequences. It does not offer easy answers, and that is why it continues to matter. People return to it not for certainty, but to think, question, and understand. In that sense, it remains present, not just as memory, but as something that still shapes thought.

The Literary Circle sees Ram Navami as a reminder of how certain stories continue to hold meaning, simply because people keep engaging with them.

Today is a day you would seldom see men wishing upfront a "Happy Women's Day". Atleast not in an orthodox, conventional household. Is it because men find that women are now equal to them and so there's no need to wish their wives, daughters, or relatives anymore?

We're not so sure of equality when the first headline that comes up speaks of women being tortured and harassed somewhere in the world. Society time and again has celebrated the achievements of a woman when she succeeds, but what if she ever fails? She is subjected to taunting, being reminded that the only place she belongs to is within the confines of a household.

The women of the Literary Circle have defied all odds to voice their opinion against this very prerogative. When the failures of men are hidden to celebrate only their success, why should women face the contrary?

Today, the Circle celebrates every woman who refuses to shrink herself, every woman who speaks up, and every woman who chooses to stand tall for who she is.

The world is fracturing in real time, borders are contested, alliances are collapsing, superpowers are playing chess with sovereign nations while misinformation travels faster than truth. Silence has become just as dangerous as conflict.

This is the world you are walking into. The International Press at NITMUN XIV does not simply observe this chaos, it confronts it. While delegates negotiate, you are reading between the lines. Every fractured coalition, every back-channel deal, every moment of calculated hesitation, nothing escapes the press.

Because when the world teeters on the brink, truth is the last line of defense.

When the world fractures, the press holds it together. NITMUN XIV.

Global uncertainty is no longer a distant concern, it demands leadership that is steady, decisive, and unafraid to act. The Secretariat of NITMUN XIV seeks individuals who can rise above rhetoric and guide committees with clarity and control.

Serving on the Executive Board means more than moderating debate. It requires setting the standard of discourse, enforcing discipline with fairness, and steering discussions toward tangible outcomes. If you can command a room with integrity and transform dialogue into direction, this is your moment to lead.

We rarely pause to reflect on the meaning of our mother tongue, perhaps because it comes to us so naturally. We cried “Ma” as a toddler before we could shape coherent thoughts.

As we grow, we learn new languages, travel to distant places, and adapt to unfamiliar worlds. Yet the moment we return home and hear the rhythm of our own language in the air, something within us feels whole again. In its familiar sound, we find comfort, belonging, and a love that words can scarcely explain.

A language that earns the name “mother” is never merely a means of communication. It is memory, identity, and home. This International Mother Language Day, the Literary Circle sends heartfelt wishes to all. May we always treasure the language that first taught us how to speak, feel, and belong.

Diplomacy is built through conversation, listening carefully, responding thoughtfully, and learning through discussion. Model United Nations places students in a setting where listening matters as much as speaking.

The Mock MUN by The Literary Circle focuses on familiarising participants with committee procedure and debate structure. It provides insight into discussion flow, argument development, and resolution drafting, for delegates of all experience levels.

Come join us on 22nd January from 5:45pm at LG 12, MAB and see what it's like to speak with real purpose.

College doesn't move in straight lines. One week you're sitting in lectures, the next you're organizing something, then suddenly months have passed and you're looking back wondering how it all connected. The Literary Circle runs alongside academics as a space to take responsibility, work with people, and see projects through.

Maybe you're organizing NITMUN, maybe you're writing posts that resonate. Maybe you're behind the scenes at TEDx, watching ideas turn real on stage. There's no fixed order to it. You step in, contribute, and let the experience build. By the end, the Yearbook records what you actually did.

Four years go by fast. You can either look back trying to connect the dots, or know exactly where you stepped in.

The global system is under growing pressure. Military actions, urgent environmental challenges, and shifting alliances are testing long-standing international norms. As cooperation is questioned, the role of diplomacy becomes more important than ever.

NITMUN XIV steps into this moment by offering a space for thoughtful discussion and informed debate. Through dialogue, negotiation, and cooperation, delegates come together to explore global challenges. Opening conversations that continue beyond the conference, shaping perspectives and setting ideas in motion.

Christmas brings a gentle lightness to everyday moments as streets glow brighter, laughter comes more easily, and familiar carols awaken memories of Santa, reindeer, and the simple wonder of childhood.

Home becomes the happiest place to be, where laughter comes easily, old movies play in the background, and hands stay warm around cups of hot chocolate and slices of plum cake. These are the moments that make us feel close, safe, and truly at ease.

The Literary Circle wishes you a Merry Christmas. May this season fill your days with warmth, meaningful stories, and memories that linger long after the lights fade.

At a time when women were expected to be soft and polite, Jane Austen had a razor-sharp voice shrouded in anonymity. Jane Austen makes you laugh. But she also makes you notice the little things. The little games people play, the social expectations accepted as rules, they are all realities in her plots.

A feminist icon even today, her humour hid scathing attacks on the unwritten rules that society levied on women. Rather than deliver open rebellion, Austen's plots wittily placed women at the centre of choice and quiet resistance. Her use of satire and open discourse to deliver criticism established her as a unique author of her time.

The Literary Circle remembers Jane Austen. Her quiet defiance is an inspiration for all of us.

Most poets in the 1860s worked within tight boundaries. They refined their rhymes and placed punctuation where readers expected. Emily Dickinson ignored these conventions. She wrote 1,800 poems and dismantled established rules. Her punctuation followed no pattern, her rhymes fell short, and publishers refused her work.

Her poems explored death and immortality with startling intensity. She treated consciousness as physical space, nature as emotional landscape, and compressed vast feeling into brief lines. Her language was spare yet powerful, her imagery drawn from everyday life yet profound in meaning.

The Literary Circle honors Emily Dickinson, whose poems remained in locked chests until her sister found them. They appeared as she wrote them, unaltered.
