Sahityam is the Library and Literary Committee of IIM Sambalpur, dedicated to nurturing both academic excellence and creative expression on campus. The committee works to enhance the learning environment while also encouraging literary and cultural engagement among students.
On the academic front, Sahityam manages the library’s operations including the selection, acquisition, and organization of books, journals, and other academic resources. It serves as an important link between students and institutional bodies such as the library administration, the PGP office, and the Library Chair. The committee ensures that the library provides accessible, inclusive, and student-friendly services that support the academic and research needs of the entire IIMSambalpur community. It is also responsible for developing and implementing policies on borrowing, copyright compliance, and user conduct. In addition, Sahityam conducts training sessions to help students effectively use the library’s digital databases. A special initiative undertaken by the committee is the creation of the official Yearbook – a treasured collection of memories for students to look back on their journey at the institute.
On the literary front, Sahityam promotes a love for literature, language, and creativity by organizing a wide range of engaging activities. These include book clubs, book exchanges, spoken tales, poetry recitations, creative writing competitions, extempore, debates, and quizzes. The committee provides students with opportunities to develop and showcase their skills in writing, editing, public speaking, and event management. By fostering intellectual curiosity and critical thinking, Sahityam creates a supportive and inclusive space for self-expression and literary growth. Through this dual focus, Sahityam plays a vital role in enriching the academic and cultural fabric of IIM Sambalpur, encouraging students to thrive both intellectually and creatively.
