Lucknow celebrated a proud literary milestone as Vanya Singh, a bright Class 8 student, launched her debut poetry collection titled “Drift.” At just 13 years old, Vanya has made a remarkable entry into the literary world, displaying maturity and creativity well beyond her years.
The book was officially launched by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who appreciated Vanya’s talent and encouraged her to continue pursuing her literary journey. The event was a moment of immense pride not only for Vanya’s parents but also for the entire GD Goenka school community.
Drift reflects Vanya’s deep sensitivity towards life, nature, and human emotions, offering a fresh perspective through her words. Her poems touch upon various dimensions of human experience, blending imagination with heartfelt expression. Recently, she was also honoured with the prestigious Emily Dickinson Award, further establishing her as a promising young poet.
Speaking about her work, Vanya expressed that writing is her way of connecting with emotions and sharing her reflections on the world. The collection highlights themes of resilience, hope, and the beauty of simplicity, resonating with readers of all ages.
Principal Dr. Prerna Mitra and Chairman Sarvesh Goel congratulated Vanya for her outstanding achievement, calling her success an inspiration for other young Goenkans to follow their passions and explore creative avenues.
This accomplishment underscores GD Goenka’s reputation as the best CBSE school in Lucknow, where students are encouraged to excel not only academically but also in fields like arts, literature, and innovation.
