About Gyaan Adab
Gyaan Adab was registered in 2013/14 as a charitable trust, a not-for-profit organization which would create an organized space for the community, without commercial interests – where the focus would be on celebrating literature and the arts.
Envisioned as a catalyst of change, Gyaan Adab is a platform for artistic expression and intellectual engagement that promotes talent and inculcates appreciation of the arts. It aims to nurture aesthetic sensibilities and build a more enlightened, empowered community.
