With its roots lying in Sanskrit, Anvaya means "connection" or "lineage." It symbolizes a network that binds people, ideas, and cultures together. The first edition of Anvaya, a student-led initiative, is scheduled on March 29, 2025. Considering the substantially low number of festivals dedicated to promoting and nurturing the stories and storytellers of northwestern India, NID Haryana opens its doors to amplify these voices and celebrate the region’s rich narrative traditions.

“To build a global community where stories transcend boundaries, enriching lives and inspiring generations to come, while evolving storytelling as a living, ever-changing art form.”
