This not only benefited the fellows, who were given multiple opportunities and exposed to a <em>plethora of resources and networks<\/em>, but it also helped the team of <a href=\"https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\">Daastan <\/a>meet a very cool bunch of people seeking to improve the landscape of the literary industry in Pakistan. Upon their graduation some of them were also be taken on board \u2013 especially those who wanted to join in the cool happenings of our space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>The Second Batch:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With another year coming to a close, the team decided to make the <a href=\"https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/literaryfellowship\/\">Fellowship<\/a> a recurring one, so as to spread the message of the revival of literature, by enabling people who were interested to come see it first hand and become a part of it as well.

This time around, the team received <em>more than a hundred applications<\/em>, double the amount received for the debut batch. The applications were screened thoroughly, and around 40 people were shortlisted and called for an online interview session. A friendly discussion was carried out with each to determine their passion for literature, their willingness to work for the achievements of their dreams, and their past involvements in our field. It was an even harder job to screen for and select the bunch that would be joining Daastan for the next three months, but eventually <a href=\"https:\/\/web.facebook.com\/mydaastan\/photos\/a.1596257880587918\/1980365615510474\/?type=3&amp;theater\">25 people were chosen<\/a> to comprise the second batch of the <a href=\"https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\">Literary Fellowship<\/a>.
