Carrying Forward the Legacy of Prabha Khaitan

As a country, we are a young nation but a timeless civilization. Capturing our vast heritage requires platforms that deeply appreciate culture. The Prabha Khaitan Foundation, through initiatives, consistently creates an exceptional ecosystem for authors to explore history, philosophy, and mythology while engaging with a deeply thoughtful global audience

Preserving our linguistic roots is vital, and the introduction of initiatives like Kalam serves a wonderful purpose. Giving both veteran and young authors a dedicated space to popularize Hindi and regional languages connects our people directly back to their true cultural heritage.

“Karm hi jeevan hai” (work is life) was the mission of Late Dr. Prabha Khaitan who showed social sensitivity and responsibility towards the poor and disadvantaged and espoused the cause of women empowerment in the spheres of art, literature, culture, education and social work by helping them hone up their hidden talents. I am glad that the Prabha Khaitan Foundation is carrying forward the good work and legacy of Late Dr. Prabha Khaitan.”

Art, literature, and regional history are the true indicators of a society’s progress. The dedicated efforts of the Prabha Khaitan Foundation in bridging cultural divides and actively creating accessible platforms for literary exchange across India are highly laudable.

I am very proud of my association with Prabha Khaitan Foundation. It is always an honor to associate with such a great organization which has culture, art, artists and India at its core. All communications of the Prabha Khaitan Foundation are innovative and I love receiving them.

I laud the Prabha Khaitan Foundation’s efforts in creating a space where children are being introduced to the art of reading and writing. Events like these go a long way in encouraging many budding talents to take to writing.

In an age where communication is often just a click away, the written word and personal expression remain deeply precious. The Prabha Khaitan Foundation, consistently creates warm, empathetic spaces that allow us to reflect on art, history, and the things that touch our hearts. It is a wonderful initiative that rekindles the emotional side of our society.

Connecting people with critical contemporary issues and demystifying complex concepts in an engaging, relatable way is a wonderful service. The efforts of the Prabha Khaitan Foundation, alongside the Ehsaas Women, in creating regular platforms that align real-world solutions with social reality are highly commendable and essential for a healthy public discourse.

Ensuring that the younger generation understands the depth of Indian heritage and the sacrifices of its historical figures is a crucial national duty. The structured, impactful work being done by the Prabha Khaitan Foundation to spotlight critical narratives and promote literature across regional chapters is deeply commendable.

The Prabha Khaitan Foundation has beautifully mastered the art of promoting and recognizing talent from entirely different walks of life. Through initiatives like Kitaab, they provide authors with a pristine, tastefully curated platform to display their newest literary works before a deeply discerning audience. It is an honor to partner with an organization that elevates contemporary storytelling so seamlessly.

Writing well, of course, is about telling a story, but it’s also about getting a balance between research and the narrative. Engaging platforms like those curated by the Prabha Khaitan Foundation give authors the perfect boundary-free environment to connect directly with the minds of their readers.

Art, dance, and literature are the ultimate expressions of our cultural consciousness. The Foundation’s tireless pursuit to provide an elevated, dignified stage for classical heritage and intellectual discourse is highly commendable. It acts as a bridge that keeps our society intimately anchored to its artistic roots.

Empowering women requires cultivating their voices and celebrating their unique, intimate life journeys. Collaborating with organizations like the Prabha Khaitan Foundation helps build a powerful global narrative that supports women across borders, providing them the visibility and platform they truly deserve to shape our collective future.

There are very few organisations in India that foster and promote art and literature with such dedication. The Prabha Khaitan Foundation has become an important voice for Indian culture and literature. Through its literary initiatives, the Foundation has been doing remarkable work in supporting authors and nurturing the literary ecosystem.

प्रभा खेतान फाउंडेशन अपने विशेष रूप से संयोजित मंचों और कार्यक्रमों के माध्यम से वास्तव में एक असाधारण काम कर रहा है—यह कला, कविता और हमारी साझी भाषाई विरासत का सम्मान करके हमारे समाज के लिए एक स्थायी ‘सांस्कृतिक पूंजी’ (cultural capital) का निर्माण कर रहा है।

Preserving our shared heritage requires a vision that balances artistic expression with social responsibility.

True progress relies on a globalization of compassion, ensuring our children are protected from societal apathy. I am deeply heartened by the vision of the Prabha Khaitan Foundation. Curating conversations that bridge social welfare with intellectual determination is highly commendable. It gives us a beautiful platform to talk about safeguarding the future of the lowest strata and marginalized sections of our society.

Documenting untold historical narratives is of immense importance to our nation. Platforms like those curated under the Prabha Khaitan Foundation’s Kitaab initiative play a crucial role in bringing overlooked facets of our heritage back into mainstream discourse.

It’s very easy to start a Foundation but very difficult to maintain it. Prabha Khaitan Foundation and its Ehsaas women – you are doing a wonderful job! Hats off.

Bringing these lesser-known, evidence-based chapters of India’s freedom struggle to public light is an act of national responsibility. The Prabha Khaitan Foundation’s commitment to promoting literature and fostering critical, intellectual dialogue through initiatives like Kitaab is deeply commendable and highly relevant for encouraging informed public discourse.

Encouraging and honoring women in the literary, social, and cultural spheres is essential for a balanced society. Giving an award or creating a space for women, in the name of an independent thinker like Dr. Prabha Khaitan, is the truest and most impactful way to keep her inspiring memory and social mission alive.

Prem Prakash’s book in reality is a celebration of his life. He has been there, done that, and shaped our recollection of events and the image of India. As a great recorder of history, he has always been at the right place at the right time. His book is an engrossing flow which the young generation of today must read. Platforms like the Prabha Khaitan Foundation provide an invaluable space to bring these rich, historical journeys directly to readers.

It has been a privilege to experience the hospitality of the Prabha Khaitan Foundation. I have participated in its activities, and had the benefit of having one of my books hosted by the Foundation to reach readers in Jaipur and Udaipur. My gratitude for this invitation today, though it is in virtual format rather than physical interactions we shared on earlier occasions. Best wishes to the Foundation for selfless work to promote literature.

First of all, I would like to thank you. I am especially grateful to the Foundation and Ehsaas Women for giving me this opportunity to come and talk to you all. I share a long and special association with the Foundation and it holds many wonderful memories for me.

I want to warmly commend Prabha Khaitan Foundation for bringing out this marvellous topic on Mothers. Because mothers, none of us would be here. I would like to congratulate The Foundation for organising this session on such an important yet barbaric issue that needs to be voiced.
