SAHITYA KALA SAMPADA, in association with BHARATIYA VIDYA BHAVAN KALA KENDRA, has been holding art-culture-literature oriented entertaining programmes (in Gujarati), once a month, since September 2015. These monthly programmes are held on morning of every 3rd Sunday at Bhavan’s air-conditioned auditorium at Chowpatty, Mumbai. These are ticketed programmes but with admission rates being very very low (highest being Rs. 100 or 80, against regular Rs. 500/400).
The details of 12 programmes staged during the first year, will give an idea of the diversity of the subjects touched upon under this series:

A large number of prominent personalities from Theatre/Music/Literature fields (Mumbai and Gujarat) participated in these programmes, which went a long way in making the events exceptionally successful. We are grateful to them.
Inspite of it being a Sunday morning event (which is not a preferred time for Gujarati audience), the response is tremendous.
Ticket rates being abnormally low, every show incurs a financial loss. While the same is being taken care of by Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, we have been getting support by way of donations (Rs. 11000/- to Rs. 51000/-) from well-wishers and also from members of the audience, who appreciate our efforts. We are extremely thankful to them.
