Birla International School arranged a visit for grade 7th students alongwith teacher escorts to the Largest Literature Festival in Asia –Pacific - ‘Jaipur Literature Festival’ on 21 Jan2012 at Diggi Palace,Jaipur.

The distinguished speakers also expressed their concern regarding the very short span of childhood and the loss of fantasizing ability to think creatively in the wake of digital technology where prototypes rule a child’s imagination.
