On 19 April 1998, Military Institute of Science and Technology (MIST) have started its journey. From the very beginning, it was sincere to ensure not only the proper engineering and technological opportunities but also a good environment to take part in various extra-curricular activities. To make this environment more cooperative and to create an inspiring and sustainable platform for the MIST students, MIST Literature and Cultural Club was introduced.

MIST Literature and Cultural Club is a dedicated platform for arts and culture enthusiasts, creating opportunities for them by organizing various workshops and events. We believe Literature and Culture is what holds the true identity of a civilization or a society. It can drive and inspire an individual to think and make a better change.

Our club believes that technology and creativity do not contradict each other –rather both contribute to proper manifestation of a student. Because, even the most learned one is nothing without imagination, creativity and communication skills. To uphold this belief, MIST Literature and Cultural Club has gloriously treaded its way far by inspiring and involving students of our technological institute.

Now, it has also become a platform for inquisitive individuals to show their latent talent, to shine their knowledge on our culture and literature and excel to become a better human being.
