DIMAPUR — Salesian College of Higher Education celebrated literary day on August 31 with the theme "Around the world: humanities edition".
The event aimed to explore, acknowledge, and embark on a journey across cultures, histories, and philosophies through the lens of art, said the college in a press release.
