History
Through the 1960s, under its founding editor Balkrishna Rao and later under Rajendra Awasthi, Kadambini and a few other leading publications of the time, started publishing short stories (laghu katha) by leading writers like Agyeya, Mahadevi Verma, Kunwar Narayan and Ramanada Doshi. This in time had an important impact on the growth of short story movement (Nayi Kahani) in Hindi literature.{{cite book|author=Ira Valeria Sarma|title=The Laghukatha: A Historical and Literary Analysis of a Modern Hindi Prose Genre|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AVMgAAAAQBAJ&pg=PA37|year= 2003|publisher=Walter de Gruyter|isbn=978-3-11-089652-7|page=37}}{{cite book|author=Kripa Shankar Sinha|title=Modern Hindi short story|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cDAmAQAAMAAJ|year=1974|page=238|publisher=National Pub.|isbn=9780883865620}} Soon, it became a prominent magazine of North India,{{cite book|author=Yogendra K.
