Each chosen story exemplifies the excellence and ingenuity of students and is

a testimony to the success of the program. From thrilling adventures to

historical stories, from stories of responsibility and family values to acts of

kindness that touch the heart, the young authors have weaved this anthology

of short stories that offers a rich and diverse tapestry of narratives that

captivate, entertain, and leave a lasting impression on the readers. The

accompanying illustrations have added meaning and a new depth to the

stories with their depiction of underlying emotions and the creation of the

background ambience.

Providing a platform to students to express their ideas and build their writing

skills, the CBSE Budding Authors Programme has nurtured a love for literature

and encouraged young authors to showcase their potential.

We welcome you to enjoy this offering from our budding authors.
