The get up of the magazine so far is pleasant, decent and sober; perfect for a family magazine that it is. The contents are informative as well as entertaining. Majority of the articles and write-ups are contributed and cover a wide variety of subjects and reflect the choice of the contributers.
Production is neat and clean and shows the professional touch throughout, which is praise worthy. Printing is good and eye soothing. On the whole all the three issues are excellent. It is hoped that the quality of printing and contents will retain its flavor in all the subsequent issues to come with the professional editorial team at its helm.
The Editorials are inspiring and show the vision, commitment and resolve behind the publication. It will not be out of place to quote here from the message of the Shri S.K.Kumar, President of the All India Kayastha Bhatnagar Sadar Sabha Hind published in the first issue of the magazine to put in perspective the objectives and tasks the publication has chosen for itself. Summing up the tasks before the publication he says,” We have an arduous task to uplift our Biradari, specially the youth, from the present indifference and, to a certain extent, alienation from the mainstream of the community and thenceforth the nation. We have to uproot the social evils, which have crept into the Biradari. And above all, we have to restore the glorious place that we have always held in the polity, administration, culture and ethics of our country. Our unity and creed of selfless service are the main requisites for accomplishment of this goal. These are some of the more important challenges ahead”. He further exhorts, “Let us
dedicate ourselves to this mission. The entire Executive of Kayasth Bhatnagaar Sadar Sabha Hind and All India Bhatnagar Upkarak Fund Trust need your support and understanding so that we may all contribute our might for the noble cause of brotherhood unity and oneness among all the members of our biradari. I am sure and hope Varta will succeed in the achievement of this pious aim with the support and cooperation of all Biradari Members”.
In our opinion it will be worth the while to subscribe to the magazine at the first available opportunity and cooperate and contribute in whatever which way we can with the publication to help it achieve the goals that it has set for itself. The cost is minimum and the contents rich. Moreover it is emerging as an important instrument of communication within the Members of the Biradari to which we belong.
