To keep the research scholars and staff members engaged and entertained, a Kavi sammelan will be organised, in which they can sit together and come up with new writings. According to the media and publicity head of 'Antaragni', Yogita Kuchanka, the event will be organised in such a manner that it will revive the lost magic of contemporary poetry. Also, many top poets will be performing on the stage at Antaragni. Not only this, what's new is the anchor hunt competition organised by Antaragni.
