TGILF is one of the most ambitious Regional Literature platforms Amit Shankar has created. 
 
As a best-selling author and a nationalist, he believes literature has an important role in nation-building.
 
Also, he is a potent advocate of regional literature as he believes that it is the local writing that reflects the soul of our country.
 
TGILF is a boutique regional literature festival that provides a platform for the writers, thinkers, and poets of Odisha, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Gujarat.
 
In days to come, it will widen its ambit, reaching out to the writers of other states as well.
 
This platform also reaches out to schools, conducts workshops, and encourages students to write better. The shortlisted work gets published. 
 
Driven by the success of its initial events, TGILF is all set to travel overseas.
