Career[]
Writing and Literary Festivals[]
The Valley of Words International Literary Festival, a unique literary festival held annually in Dehradun, was conceptualised under Chopra's leadership. Discussing the theme of the festival, he said:
Our endeavour has been to encourage all forms of creative expressions — from poetry to puppets, photography to philately, dance, theatre, music. In fact, the word is not just a word. It symbolises the evolution of humankind. In many ways, the word is subliminal and a city which does not give a central place to the arts cannot be lively, vibrant, aesthetic and inviting.[6]
