About Farrago
Words have always paved a way for us to win the world over. The stories that we have read, heard, and been a part of, have made us who we are today. From the rhythms of poetry to the tempo of speeches, from the flow of tales to the measures of pages, ideas are what shape us. And finally, where your ideas meet practice, where art meets colour , where the camera unites with expression; there from arises Farrago: the Literary Committee of AIIMS Bhubaneswar.
We, at Farrago, believe in weaving magic with words, spreading stories like stardust, and spreading love and compassion around like confetti.
So come, join us, in our beautiful adventure through tales, experiences and enthralling escapades.

Dear literary connoisseurs and aficionados,
As the Literary Secretary of the Students Association AIIMS Bhubaneswar (SAAB), 2023-24, and on behalf of Farrago, our literary committee, I am overjoyed to extend my profound gratitude to each one of you for your unwavering support and zealous passion for literature.
Indeed, we are a community of erudite minds, who comprehend the power of literature to stimulate our cognitive faculties, expand our horizons and refine our perspectives. Through our diverse array of events - TED talks, comic con, poetry slams, film screenings, debates, quizzes, storytelling sessions, and podcasts - we have seized the power of literature to stir our intellects and challenge our understandings.
Our subcommittees - Bookflix (Book and Poetry Club of AIIMS Bhubaneswar) , Human Library of AIIMS Bhubaneswar, Debating Society of AIIMS Bhubaneswar, Shots & Plots (the film society of AIIMS Bhubaneswar), The Med-Echoes (monthly newsletter), AIIMS Bhubaneswar Quiz Club (ABQC), and Podcasts and Audiostories - have been our unsung heroes, whose mettle and creativity have been instrumental in fostering an atmosphere of intellectual discourse and personal development.
As we embark on a new year, let us pledge to augment our literary insights, push beyond our intellectual thresholds, and embrace the transformative power of literature. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "In the highest civilization, the book is still the highest delight. He who has once known its satisfactions is provided with a resource against calamity."
Let us rise above the quotidian and embrace the salient call of literature to enlighten, inspire and transform us.
With gratitude and felicity,
Arnendu Barman
