In a heartfelt celebration titled, ' Kavya Vasant ', poets and poetry lovers gathered to explore and express the enchanting moods of spring. Organised by VSS, the event was a poetic springtime festival based on Vasant — the season of renewal. VSS president Pradeep Date, general secretary Vilas Manekar, Rajendra Dolke, Prakash Edlabadkar, library director, Prof Vivek Alone, and veteran poet Shyam Madhav Dhond were prominently present to encourage poets. The evening opened with a serene Ganesh Vandana — a dance presented by Sheetal Pote, Avani Kashikar, and Shabari Puranik, followed by another graceful number set to the classic 'Kokila Ga Ga Re', capturing the spirit of the singing koel that often marks spring's arrival.
