KARAMBUJ COLLEGE MAGAZINE

It is great pleasure of Shree K. R. Katara Arts College, Shamlaji to publish College magazine ‘Karambuj’ every year. Our college renamed its magazine’s name from Ishan to Karambuj. Karambuj is the other form of Lord Vishnu. Lord Vishnu’s posture laying on Sheshnag and holding a lotus in his hand is known as Karamabuj Avtar. The lotus is the symbol of knowledge and Shamlaji is known as the areas of Lord Vishnu.  So Karambuj is named after Lord Vishnu’s name.  It is the literary and social magazine of the college in which students, college teachers and other literary persons contribute their creations. ‘Karambuj’ has great educative value. It encourages the students to think over particular topic and write, thus it helps them in developing their writing skill and talent. ‘Karambuj’ helps the students in developing their power of thinking and strengthen their imaginations.

In the beginning of the academic session our college organizes the exhibition of previous Karambuj magazines and encourages the students to express their creativity on this platform. After reading the magazine the students are inspired to think. Our College magazine provides a scope for writing their articles, poems, essays, stories ect. independently. ‘Karambuj’ facilitates them to meet their creations as good as possible.

Karambuj is an inspiration for students who have some ideas and thoughts but do not have opportunity to publish their creations. Its educational value is high and the writers owe to lot to the college magazine. ‘Karambuj’ is called a training ground for the students to express their thoughts. It establishes a link between the new and the old students. The copy of magazine serves as a reminiscence of college days for ex- students. The college magazine instills a sort of competitive spirit in students through articles on various topics.

Objectives of the practice:

To give opportunity to the students for expressing their own creative ideas and thoughts in written form.
