डॉ. संगीता हांडा ने पीपीटी के माध्यम से उत्तर औपनिवेशिक साहित्य लेखन पर विस्तारपूर्वक चर्चा की और उत्तर औपनिवेशिक साहित्य के सैध्दान्तिक पक्ष को भी अपने विषय का आधार बनाया। उन्होंने बड़ी गहराई व बारीकी से उत्तर औपनिवेशिक विचारधारा, इस विचारधारा के कारक,  इस विचारधारा से उपजे साहित्य व उसके उद्देश्य  पर प्रकाश डाला। उन्होंने यह जोर देकर कहा कि ब्रिटिश विचारधारा से जिस उत्तर औपनिवेशिक साहित्य की उपज हुई है, उसका जितना प्रभाव अफ्रीकी देशों के लेखन पर पड़ा है, उतना भारतीय लेखन पर नहीं। इसका कारण उन्होंने भारत की मजबूत भाषिक व सांस्कृतिक संरचना को माना है। उन्होंने कहा कि भारत की लोक विरासत ने आज तक इस विचारधारा से अपने आपको बचा रखा है परंतु ऐसा भी नहीं है कि भारतीय लेखन इस विचारधारा से अछूता है। 

प्राचार्य डॉ. धर्म सिंह संधू ने अपने संबोधन में कहा कि साहित्य हमें अपने जीवन के अनुभवों से जोड़ता है। साहित्य तो अपनी जीवन यात्रा(अनुभव) को पृष्ठों पर अंकित करने की प्रक्रिया है जिसे भावी पीढ़ी पढ़कर न सिर्फ उससे संदेश लेती है बल्कि उन अनुभवों को पुनः जीने का उपक्रम भी करती है। इस अवसर पर विभाग के उन छात्रों को सम्मानित भी किया गया जिन्होंने साहित्य लेखन में अपनी रुचि दिखाई व प्रतियोगिता में हिस्सा लिया। कार्यक्रम के अन्त में विभाग की प्राध्यापिका प्रो. रीतिन्दर जोशी ने धन्यवाद ज्ञापित किया।
