Mr. Kailash Chandra Lohani

Former President REEDS

Welcome to my literary journey! I began my tryst with literature at a tender age, immersing myself in the rich narratives of Hindi literature. Over the years, my passion for reading evolved into a deep-seated commitment to writing, translating, and promoting local languages, particularly Kumauni.

As a retired educator from the Uttarakhand Education Department, I dedicated my career to fostering a love for literature among students. Additionally, my tenure as the President of the Rural Environmental and Educational Development Society (REEDS) afforded me the opportunity to champion social causes, particularly the eradication of illegal prostitution and advocacy for women and children.

AWARDS AND HONOUR

My contributions to literature and society have been recognized with several accolades and honors, including the Sumitra Nandan Pant Puruskar and Varishtha Vibhuti Samman. These awards serve as a testament to the transformative power of literature and the enduring impact of grassroots advocacy.

LITERARY WORKS

My literary endeavors have found expression in a myriad of publications, spanning esteemed magazines and journals. From "Parvatiya Saptahik" to "Almora Times," my articles and compositions have graced the pages of publications, advocating for the preservation and proliferation of local languages and culture.
