Katha Utsav 2026: Cohort 2 of the FactorDaily x Bachpan Manao’s Storytelling Fellowship, Graduate!

Join us for Katha Utsav 2026, the graduation ceremony for Cohort 2 of the FactorDaily x Bachpan Manao Storytelling Fellowship.

The Storytelling Fellowship brings together people embedded in early childhood spaces and equips them to tell their stories from the field. Anchored by journalist and FactorDaily Co-Founder Pankaj Mishra, the fellowship gave space to eleven storytellers to craft and share the everyday moments that they have been witness to across anganwadis, community centres, caregiver engagement and more.

At Katha Utsav, we gather as a community committed to making early childhood visible in homes, conversations, and public spaces, to celebrate this journey of theirs and the stories it has given words to.
