Continuing this cultural and literary tradition of the college, Prof. Sandeep Singh, Head of Department of Punjabi at ACFA, Jalandhar, recently published his first collection of poetry at South Asian Cultural Center, Oxford University.
The preface of the book was written by a prominent Punjabi poet, Padma Shri Dr.Surjit Patar, and Secretary of Punjab Kala Parishad, Shri Lakhwinder Singh Johal.
Talking about his poetic journey, Prof. Sandeep Singh shared, “My poetry is a reflection of my thinking and inspiration. It showcases the literary atmosphere of the family, their encouragement as well as support of colleagues and friends, who have always provided me with the inspiration to write.”
On this occasion, Dr. Neerja Dhingra, Principal at ACFA, congratulated him and said, “Literature always guides its admirers and readers about the various stages of life. I am hoping this book of Mr. Sandeep acts as an inspiration for our students too.”
