Supplements
Notable among all of the supplements of The Statesman is the Thursday feature supplement called "Section 2" which is published in New Delhi. The four page supplement is widely recognised for in-depth analysis on art, dance, drama, fashion, lifestyle and entertainment. In Kolkata, supplement Voices focuses on schools and schoolchildren. It has gained enormous popularity since its inception in 1995. It gives the opportunity to school children to showcase their writing skills with research articles, poems and short news clips.
Voices boasts of a large number of "Coordinators", or school reporters who form the basic framework of Voices and the conduit between The Statesman and school children. Among other activities every year, Voices hosts the 2-day long festival called "Vibes" in Calcutta, which showcases inter-school competitions in different fields and also shows by popular musicians and bands.
The Sunday supplement, 8th Day, is the major literary section of the paper, consisting of the reader-contributed 'Short story' and 'Stanza'(poem) while the other Sunday Supplement, Evolve, mainly deals with the cultural scene in India. Marquee, published every Saturday, covers the film and entertainment scene.
The Statesman and Bartaman (a Bengali newspaper) have joined their resources to facilitate yearly and half yearly subscription at cheaper cost.
