Following a year of continuous effort by the editorial board, Sruthirekha is published on the Annual Day by the Chief Guest. Each publication is centred around a theme selected by the editors, with previous themes including memory, heritage and generation; dance, theatre and music; and painting and sculpture. Sruthi members and non-members contribute non-fiction articles, short stories, and poems for publication, with a children’s section highlighting the efforts of our youngest participants.
