Pune Book Festival 2024: Event Highlights & ChikuPiku's Participation

Pune, traditionally known as the educational capital of India, is gearing up for a literary spectacle that promises to be a haven for book lovers and families alike. The Pune Book Festival 2024 is not just an event; it is a celebration of culture, language, and the timeless joy of reading. Organized through a prestigious collaboration between the National Book Trust (NBT), the Deccan Education Society, and Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU), this year’s edition aims to surpass all previous records.

The festival is set to transform the Fergusson College Grounds into a vibrant hub of intellectual exchange. For the first time, the event will feature a dedicated Pune Literature Festival, inviting renowned authors, poets, and thinkers to engage in meaningful dialogues. A standout attraction this year is the ambitious attempt to create a Guinness World Record for the largest online album of book covers, an initiative designed to ignite a passion for reading across all age groups.

Beyond the shelves of books, the festival offers a complete cultural experience. Visitors can immerse themselves in traditional music and dance performances that showcase the rich heritage of the region. To complement the literary feast, a variety of food stalls will serve delicious local delicacies, making it a perfect day out for the entire family.

At ChikuPiku, we are incredibly proud to participate in this grand event. As a brand dedicated to Indian Marathi Magazine and Stories, our mission is to bring children closer to their roots through the power of their mother tongue. We believe in fostering a "screen-free" environment where imagination takes center stage. Our stall at the festival will be a dedicated space for creativity, learning, and fun.

Parents and children visiting the ChikuPiku stall will discover a treasure trove of engaging Marathi magazines filled with poems, stories, and activities. We are also excited to present our exclusive collection of audio stories, including classics like Panchatantra and Tenali Rama, which are perfect for nurturing values and listening skills in young minds.

To make the experience even more memorable, we are hosting live interactive storytelling sessions. These are not just passive listening events; kids are encouraged to participate, act, and build stories with our expert narrators. We also have a lineup of creative activities, including word puzzles and coloring contests, ensuring that learning remains a joyful process.

We invite you to be a part of this journey. Exclusive festival discounts on our subscriptions and products will be available for parents who wish to gift their children the joy of meaningful content.
