Kerala School Kalolsavam 2022-23 Manual & Guidelines

Kerala School Kalolsavam2022-23 will be celebrated as a grand festival in schools all over Kerala. It has been decided at the government level to organize State Level School Kalolsavam for the academic year 2022-23 at various venues in Kozhikode from January 3rd to 7th.

This unique festival will be conducted from school level to state level and will be monitored by the Education Department of Kerala. Looking back into the history of the festival in the last 51 years it can be found that the Kerala School Kalolsavam has advanced much in spirit and conduct. It is a stupendous opportunity for students to express their talent at the school, sub district, district and state levels.

Kerala School Kalolsavam began in 1956-57 when Dr.C.S.Venkiteswaran was the DPI. New items were added to the festival in later years and Kerala School Kalolsavam Manual and guidelines were prepared by experts in the field.

More generally State-level A-grade winners will get cultural scholarships, the value of which will be determined by the government.
