Every month, we at Daastan<\/a> make sure that all you readers and writers are engaged in some literary activity. Providing opportunity is one of our key goals to uplift the Literary space in Pakistan. This month, we joined hands with Khudkaar<\/a> to bring attention to the South of Pakistan. We are excited to present to you this march, Lit’Tech Layyah!<\/p>\n

What is Lit’Tech Layyah?<\/h2>\n

Lit’Tech Layyah is a Literary Festival located at the heart of South Punjab. Daastan and Khudkaar will be conducting a series of events to engage the local literaties in community-building activities.Due to lack of internet literacy, people in Layyah do not have the right exposure to keep up with the world and thus there is extreme poverty. Our team will upskill the youth of Layyah with modern digital skills, so that they can earn a sustainable living and break free of poverty.<\/p>\n
