The CCCLS will publish a quarterly magazine to promote and highlight authors. Cadets’ children will be encouraged to write in both English and Bangla.

In addition, it will organize literary events, and invite famous literary personalities to discuss various literary aspects, issues, analysis, and writing techniques, at symposiums and seminars.
