About PIVF 2023
The Sarvamangala Trust, in collaboration with the N. V. Krishna Warrior Trust and Mathrubhumi, successfully organized a series of festivals, including an International Literary Festival, International Book Festival, and International Folk Art Festival, which took place from the 24th to the 26th of February 2023.
These festivals were collectively known as the "Peruvanam International Village Festival (PIVF)." The primary venues for these events were the CNN Boys and Girls School, as well as Mahatma Maidan. The CNN School, a 105-year-old institution located in Peruvanam village, hosted the events, while "Mahatma Maidan" received its name from Mahatma Gandhiji's visit on January 17th, 1934. These festivals expanded beyond these locations to encompass other rural spaces, extending their reach to students, theater enthusiasts, reading clubs (Graameena Vayana Shaala), and performing artists.
