Vipul Kumar, in his address, mentioned the importance of writing in one’s own language as written forms are the expression of heartfelt feelings of individuals that helps in bringing about transformation in society and this Academy is a perfect platform to motivate people to write and develop an aesthetic sense and  love for literature.

He recited a poem titled, “Manav Garima” written by his father  Gopal Sharan Singh. The poem in a subtle and beautiful manner expresses the dichotomy of divine status given to women in Indian culture and their unceasing exploitation.
