Information and Communications Minister Dr. Vikram Timilsina Highlights Literature's Enduring Role

Kathmandu. Information and Communications Minister Dr. Vikram Timilsina has stated that even in the current world guided by technology, artificial intelligence, and 'algorithms', literature continues to serve as a powerful fundamental medium for understanding human civilization and life.

Speaking at the 'Himalayan Literature Festival and Writers Workshop' organized here today, he said that literature connects society and people through self-reflection and human emotions. "Why do people still write poetry in a world shaped by algorithms, data, and speed? Why do they keep telling stories? Because literature is the most powerful medium for human civilization to achieve self-awareness," he said.
