Introduction

The Narrative Vault is JIBS’s academic and cultural forum dedicated to critical engagement with media, literature, and storytelling. Designed for students interested in exploring how narratives shape thought, identity, and society, the club bridges theory and practice through structured book discussions, film screenings, and research-driven dialogue.

Vision
